Sint-Truidense VV would have already completed their first outgoing summer transfer. Rihito Yamamoto is moving to SC Freiburg, according to Het Nieuwsblad, with the German club paying around 8 million euros for the Japanese midfielder. The Bundesliga club lost the Europa League final on Wednesday night. STVV had a great season in the Jupiler Pro League and this has had a positive impact on all fronts. The club has already secured European football for next season and sees the income rising. The club's coffers will also be boosted through outgoing summer transfers. Several players have caught the eye on Stayen, and this has also not gone unnoticed abroad. One player has become very concrete very quickly: Rihito Yamamoto. According to Het Nieuwsblad, the midfielder from Sint-Truiden will move to SC Freiburg next season. The German club lost the Europa League final on Wednesday to Aston Villa with a 0-3 score, where Youri Tielemans scored a beautiful goal. The transfer seems to be complete, although it is not yet known for what term he will sign a contract. The transfer would involve a sum of around 8 million euros. His market value is 5 million euros according to Transfermarkt. The Japanese player came to Gamba Osaka in the summer of 2023. He was first hired and a year later made the definitive move to Limburg. Sint-Truiden paid 1 million euros at the time and thus realizes a significant profit on the outgoing transfer. The 24-year-old Yamamoto missed only two games this season and was always on the pitch. He has already played 96 times for STVV. In his time on Stayen, he was good for five goals and nine assists. Alongside Ryotaro Ito, he is a key player in the midfield. Through his consistent performances, Yamamoto has grown into one of the most reliable players within the team. A departure would also be a significant blow to the team.
