Arsenal and Newcastle United are ready to pay Takefusa Kubo’s €60 million release clause but face the threat of Real Madrid.
According to Fichajes, Premier League sides Arsenal and Newcastle United are prepared to pay €60 million for Takefusa Kubo. The 22-year-old La Liga winger has come in for high demand from England, with a host of clubs also keen, although they face the significant threat of Real Madrid in the chase for the Real Sociedad attacker.
Arsenal, Newcastle United willing to pay €60 million for Takefusa Kubo
Takefusa Kubo has been a sensational presence for Real Sociedad, with six goals and four assists this season in La Liga. The Japanese international already has some top-name suitors pursuing him, and there is a certainty he will attract massive interest for his services.
The 22-year-old winger already has Manchester City in the mix, while Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are also keen. The winger has a €60 million release clause in his contract, something the Gunners, and the Magpies are willing to fork out in the summer.
Real Sociedad will not stand in his way should any club trigger that clause, and some English sides might see this as an opportunity of sorts. Kubo knows his future lies elsewhere, possibly away from La Liga, and could ponder waiting on teams like Arsenal and Newcastle United.
Liverpool might also come into the mix should they lose Mohamed Salah. However, long-term admirers of Arsenal may have shown a willingness to pay his price. As things stand, the Gunners are far more attractive to anyone, including the 22-year-old winger, over someone like Newcastle United.
Real Madrid the biggest threat in Kubo’s chase
While the Premier League sides are all keen on signing Kubo, the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United will all face the significant threat of La Liga giants Real Madrid in the chase. The 22-year-old was a former player, and Los Blancos have favourable clauses in his contract.
For instance, they can sign Kubo for half his €60 million release clause, while there are rumours they also have some sell-on provisions in place. Hence, should Real Madrid take the interest of other clubs seriously, they might see it fit to re-sign the 22-year-old La Liga winger and then sell him for a profit.
