The oldest professional footballer in the world wants to continue playing until the age of 60.
And he is expected to join a new club, in his 37th season as a player who is led by brother.
Kazuyoshi Miura turns 55-year-old on February 26th and is still under contract with Yokohama FC in Japan, Periscopi broadcasts.
He's played just a minute in J1 League this season, until Yokohama finished last place.
However, with the contract headed for suspension, Kyodo News reports that the veteran of all veterans is ready to continue his extraordinary career by signing for his older brother's team, Suzuka Point Getters.
Suzuka plays in Japan's fourth league, with Eastuoshi Miura taking over the team last summer.
When asked about his future last month, King Kazué said: “Ekipi is almost 100 percent in line with my wishes.
I have the same passion for football”.
His first professional contract, Miura signed in 1986, signing with the renowned Brazilian club Santos.
He also played for teams like Palmiras, Matsubara, CRB, XV de Jau and Cortiba, before returning to Santos, the Periscope broadcasts.
The striker then scored 133 goals in 253 matches for Tokyo Verdy over eight years, 1990/98, even though one of these seasons was spent as a loan to Genoa.
A failed test at Bournemouth means that his only permanent stage in Europe was a half season in Dinamo Zagreb in 1999, which was followed by the period of return to Japan with Kyoto Purple Sanga and Vissel Kobe. /Periscope. com/
