Pathum United officially confirmed the ownership of Thai national team star Chanathip Songkrasin

Not long ago, the midfielder born in 1993 just terminated his contract with the Japanese team, Kawasaki Frontale. He joined this team in January 2022 with a record transfer fee of J-League 1 - 3.8 million euros. Here, he had 27 appearances in the first season, but by the 2023 season, Chanathip had only played a total of 140 minutes. At the same time, the midfielder of the Thai team also continuously suffered injuries that caused his performance to decline, not contributing anything to Kawasaki Frontale.

According to Siamsport , the contract between Chanathip and Pathum United is for 3 years. The Thai team must pay Kawasaki Frontale more than 2 million USD to have Chanathip's service. In addition to the above amount, Panthum United will pay the "Thai Messi" a salary of 1.8 million baht (more than 1.2 billion VND) per month.

Pathum United Announcement

Returning to the domestic tournament, the star of the Thai team will still wear the familiar number 18 shirt. Chanathip will also meet familiar teammates in the Thai team such as Sarach Yooyen, Teerasil Dangda. The leadership of Pathum United hopes that the presence of the 30-year-old star will help the team play well and achieve high results in the next season. In the 2022 - 2023 season, this team only ranked 9th with 41 points.

Chanathip is considered one of the big stars of Thai football and he has played football in Japan for nearly 7 years. 2017 marked a turning point in the career of the small midfielder when he moved from Muangthong United to Consadole Sapporo on loan. However, Chanathip quickly showed his talent and was bought by the Japanese team.

During his four seasons in the Land of the Rising Sun, Chanathip played 123 matches, scoring 15 goals and providing 22 assists. The midfielder was also named in the J-League 1 Team of the Year in 2018.

Chanathip is one of the famous stars of Thai football.
