Naka not sure of future plans
Midfielder Nakamura appeared certain to end his four-year stay with the Scottish champions when his contract expires in the summer and return to his native Japan.[LNB]The 30-year-old was thought to favour a return to Japan both for family reasons and because of the stress of regularly travelling to Asia for international matches.[LNB]But he insists he will not decide whether to stay or go before the destiny of the Scottish Premier League title is known.[LNB]He told Celtic TV: "It is a possibility to go back to Japan at the end of the season. But for now I only want to concentrate on winning the title - before I decide what I will do."[LNB]Nakamura's first professional club, Yokohama Marinos, have been trying for more than a year to lure the player back.[LNB]Main sponsor Nissan Motors had been ready to bankroll his return during the January transfer window, but a downturn in the company's finances scuppered any bid to buy the player.[LNB]Nakamura would be available for free in the summer, when Yokohama are finally expected to make their move.[LNB]Whatever happens, Nakamura will look back with pride on his time at Celtic, who he joined from Reggina in 2005.[LNB]"I know that if foreign players go to a club and don't perform well they can be transferred," he said.[LNB]"I feel very proud to have been here for four years and to have played so many games.[LNB]"Every year, because the manager and chairman wanted to keep me here, I just wanted to do my best to win the title.[LNB]"I always want to show the club I'm with is the best."[LNB][LNB]
