Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo from La Liga club Real Sociedad.
A report from Fichajes has claimed that Liverpool are formulating an offer to sign Takefusa Kubo, who will cost around €60 million. The Real Sociedad winger has also been linked with Real Madrid.
The player has been linked with a return to his boyhood club Real Madrid as well, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get the deal done. Kubo has established himself as one of the best wingers in La Liga, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the club. His contract expires in 2025, and Liverpool could be under pressure to sell him if he does not sign a new contract with them. The 22-year-old Japanese winger will be the ideal replacement for the Egyptian international.
He has seven goals and four assists to his name in all competitions, and he will add creativity and goals to the side from the wide areas. His numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in an attacking team with better players around him. Kubo is highly rated across Europe, and he has the potential to develop into a top-class player.
Real Madrid want to sign Takefusa Kubo
Real Madrid are keen on securing his services as well, and Liverpool must look to move quickly in order to get the deal done. The winger is valued at €60 million, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are willing to pay a premium for him. They will have to improve the other areas of their squad as well.
Liverpool should look to bring in a quality striker, a defensive midfielder, and a central defender at the end of the season. Kubo could be attracted to the idea of playing for a big club Liverpool next season, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The Japanese winger is still only 22, and he will improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for the Reds and end up justifying the €60 million investment if the transfer goes through. With that said, the opportunity to return to his boyhood club Real Madrid might be more tempting. He might feel that he has unfinished business at the Spanish club.
The Japanese international joined Real Madrid in 2019 and left them in 2022 in search of regular playing time. He has been a major hit since his move to Real Sociedad and his performances have attracted the interest of Los Blancos, who are now looking to bring him back.
