  "account": "Spanish footballer Victor Meseguer is expected to join Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) after turning down offers from the Indian Super League and Cadiz. The 26-year-old midfielder, who has been with Real Valladolid for three years, was reportedly interested in joining the Malaysian side during the January transfer window. Despite offers from Indian clubs, Meseguer decided to accept JDT's proposal, which was too strong for Cadiz to counter financially. Valladolid, looking to cut costs, allowed Meseguer to leave, with Cazurreando describing JDT as one of the most powerful clubs in Malaysian football. His move will add another foreign player to the squad, further expanding JDT's recruitment efforts ahead of the 2026-2027 season.",
