Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo from La Liga club Real Sociedad.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool would be willing to offer €80 million to sign Japanese international Takefusa Kubo from La Liga club Real Sociedad. It will be interesting to see if the Reds can get the deal done.
The 23-year-old has been a key player for Real Sociedad in La Liga, and he should prove to be a superb acquisition for Liverpool if they can get the deal done. However, the Merseyside outfit might face stiff competition from other high-profile clubs.
The Reds need more attacking quality and depth in the side. Mohamed Salah will be a free agent next summer, and Liverpool need to replace him adequately. The Egyptian international has been an indispensable asset for the club, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool decide to move for Kubo as an alternative to the Egyptian.
The 23-year-old Japanese international has shown his quality in La Liga, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. However, he will need time to develop further before he can fill the void left by a world-class player like Salah.
Liverpool rate Kubo highly
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player in the coming months. The fact that they are prepared to spend €80 million on the player suggests that they are serious about signing him and that they rate him highly.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the former Real Madrid prospect as well. The youngster has tested himself in La Liga over the years, and he will look to take up the challenge of English football now. Regular first-team action in the Premier League could help him improve further and showcase his qualities at a higher level.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be quite exciting for most players. They will provide the Japanese international with the platform to push for trophies regularly and fulfil his tremendous potential in the coming seasons.
