The Bayern Munich midfielder has confirmed that he will move on loan to FC Nuremberg in the upcoming summer transfer window.

last year. Usami was expected to shine in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 but has not found a permanent place in the starting XI.
The attacker had previously expressed his desire to part ways with the Munich giants to play regular first-team football. As a result, Nuremberg showed their interest in the Japanese and have been successful in signing him on a
year-long loan deal.
Usami himself admitted that he is willing to make a move elsewhere and revealed that he would consider a move to Nuremberg. He claimed that both parties are currently negotiating a deal and the player is confident of a positive
outcome. He reckons that there will be sufficient first team opportunities at the Frankenstadion which is what matters the most to him.
While talking to Nikkan, the Japan U22 international further added: "The current reports [regarding the Nurnberg transfer] aren't wrong. I think the negotiations are going well, and [the offer] is certainly appealing."
On the other hand, the teenager mused that he will continue fighting for a place in the playing XI at Allianz Arena. He admitted that it is a certainly difficult to make a place when competing with big name players such as Arjen
Robben, Franck Ribery, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 and Mario Gomez but is still hopeful of earning sufficient playing time towards the end of this campaign.
"I haven't given up yet. I'm still going to keep trying," Usami concluded after Bayern’s 2-0 win over Olympique Marseille in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, March 28, at the Stade Velodrome.
The former Osaka star has managed just 1 league appearance for Bayern’s senior side so far which is certainly a frustrating factor for the 19-year-old. He is also yet to make an international appearance for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Japan-c2928’s national side
and his Nuremberg move could help him in earning a debut for the country.
