Sports News] Japanese media reports reveal that 17-year-old Japanese player
Rento Takaoka was deceived in a trial scam when he traveled to Inter for
training. According to the reports, Takaoka, a U17 international player for
Japan, experienced a fraudulent trial training incident. It is alleged that
Takaoka and his agent traveled to Italy to participate in a trial training
session with Inter Milan, arranged through local agents. However, it appears
that Takaoka did not actually take part in any trial training with Inter Milan
or have any contact with the club’s staff. As he had paid for his own travel
expenses, it is likely that he fell victim to a trial scam. Takaoka, who
represented Japan in the U17 World Cup last year and scored in three
consecutive matches, gained significant attention for his impressive
performances. His notable displays in the tournament also caught the eye of
several European media outlets. It is possible that these factors made Takaoka
an attractive target for scammers.
