Tomiyasu on his way to Venezia: ex-Arsenal defender agrees on
According to Sports.
Background
Takehiro Tomiyasu has previously proven to be a valuable player in Serie A, making 61 appearances for Bologna between 2019 and 2021. However, his development has been affected by injuries during his time at Arsenal and a short spell at Ajax. The move to Venezia offers him the opportunity to show his potential again in the Italian league.
Why this matters
The arrival of Takehiro Tomiyasu to Venezia is crucial for the club's defensive strengthening, especially after Marin Sverko's injury. Tomiyasu, who previously played in Serie A, brings valuable experience and quality, which is vital to the club's ambitions in the competition. His return to Italy also marks an opportunity for him to revive his career after a period of injuries.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is about to return to Serie A. According to reports from TuttoMercatoWeb, Venezia has reached an agreement with the Japanese defender, who can join on a free transfer. It would be a contract for three seasons, with a salary of approximately one million euros net per year, supplemented with bonuses based on the number of matches played. The deal could reportedly gain momentum as early as this weekend.
Venezia's interest is partly prompted by personnel setbacks at the back. Marin Sverko has undergone corrective hip surgery and is expected to be sidelined for three to four months. As a result, he will miss the training camp anyway and there will be an immediate need for extra defensive security. Sassuolo also reported in recent days, but the 'Lagunari' seem to have acted quickly and most decisively to bring in the 27-year-old international.
For Tomiyasu it means a return to a competition where he already gave up his calling card. He wore the Bologna shirt for two seasons between 2019 and 2021. During that period he made 61 Serie A appearances, recording three goals and three assists. His performances earned him a transfer to Arsenal for around 19 million euros in the summer of 2021. The defender had strong phases in London, but also injuries that regularly slowed down his development.
Last season followed a short stay at Ajax, where he made seven appearances in six months. Despite varying playing time, Tomiyasu recently showed his class on the global stage: this summer he played three times for Japan at the World Cup. This underlines that his basic level and international experience are intact, provided he stays fit.
For Venezia, the arrival of Tomiyasu is a logical, cost-conscious reinforcement with proven Serie A experience. Its flexibility and international baggageshould immediately give the selection more body in a long and demanding season. At the same time, Tomiyasu is given the opportunity to build up rhythm and form in a familiar environment, with the prospect of a permanent position and a key role in the backline.
If the final paperwork is completed smoothly, Venezia will quickly have access to a defender who knows the competition inside and out. Sassuolo remains in the waiting room, but the expectation is that the 'Lagunari' will bring in their defensive puzzle piece in time to close the gap left by Sverko's injury.
What's happening now
With the deal expected to be completed this weekend, Tomiyasu will quickly join the Venezia squad. This offers the club the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming matches in Serie A with a strengthened defense. The focus will be on integrating Tomiyasu into the team and utilizing his experience to ensure defensive stability.
