Multiple sources are reporting that Mainz have added Kodai Sano as one of their top transfer targets. The NEC Nijmegen midfielder is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Mainz are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. Mainz are only scoring 0.87 goals per game (13 in 15) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Kodai Sano would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Speculation continues to connect Mainz with Phillip Tietz while no fresh rumours surround NEC Nijmegen. Stay tuned for more details as the story develops. Need more Mainz transfer rumours?
