The move to Europe came in season 2017/18, signing for Portimonense, first on a loan, and then officially at the start of the season. The forward scored 15 goals in 46 matches playing for Sporting de Braga, numbers that made him leave for Al-Duhail, on February2019.

Nakajima has already won two trophies: the Catar Cup, for Al-Duhail, and the Under23 Asian Cup, for Japan.
