Daichi Kamada has agreed to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace, with the deal expected to be officially sealed within the next 24 hours.
The Japanese midfielder will stay at Selhurst Park for at least one more season, with his new agreement running until June 2027.
Since joining the club in the summer of 2024 on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt, Kamada has quickly become a valued member of Oliver Glasner’s squad. As the first-ever Japanese player to represent Crystal Palace, he brought creativity, work rate, and international quality to the midfield. His contributions helped the team in their successful campaigns, including that memorable FA Cup triumph.
This extension is a big win for Palace. At a time when squad stability is key, keeping a technically gifted and experienced player like Kamada shows the club’s ambition and commitment to building on recent progress. The 29-year-old (turning 30 soon) adds leadership and know-how in the engine room – exactly what you want as the new season approaches.
Fans will be delighted to see “Kama” in the red and blue for another year. Known for his calm demeanor, intelligent passing, and ability to unlock defenses, he’s the kind of player who makes the team better both on and off the pitch.
