FC Seoul defender Osmar will join a J.League club on loan pending a medical check, the club announced on Monday through their social media accounts.
The 29-year-old became the K League’s first Spanish player when he joined Seoul in 2014, setting a league record for appearances and minutes by a foreign player just one season later. Osmar went on to be named team captain in 2016, earning a spot in that year’s K League Best Eleven.

Rumors first began to emerge regarding the move as early as last month, when Osmar’s spouse Tamara followed the J.League’s official accounts on Twitter and Instagram. She was discovered on Monday to have followed the official accounts of Cerezo Osaka, which she unfollowed later in the day following reporting by Football Tribe Thailand:
Cerezo currently have the allowed maximum of five foreign players signed to the team: goalkeeper Kim jin-hyeon, defender Matej Jonjic, midfielder Souza, striker Yang Dong-hyen, and stiker Ricardo Santos. All, save for Ricardo who is in recovery from surgery to repair two fractured metacarpals, have been registered for the team’s AFC Champions League squad ahead of their group stage opener at Jeju United on Wednesday.
