Now this is a partial list and its not known if some of these players already have deals in place with their existing clubs. There have been a couple of rumors about players getting offers...surprisingly one floating around is Kim Jin Hyeon coming to Urawa from Cerezo. If I get more information or a full list of 0 yen transfers, I'll post it and any ridiculous, unsubstantiated rumors as well.

Credibility, Schmedibility!
