The British media Cut Offside reported on the 28th (Korea time), “Man City is interested in recruiting Kubo Takefusa (22, Real Sociedad) in the transfer market in January next year.”
Kubo is well-known as Japan’s best talent. After standing out at FC Tokyo, he wore a prestigious Real team uniform in 2019 in recognition of his talent.
He failed to fulfill his dream of making his debut in the Real League. There was no room for Kubo to play for Real. Kubo has various experiences in Mallorca, Getafe and Villarreal as a loan player.
Eventually, Kubo came to an end. Kubo left Real Madrid for 6.5 million euros (9.3 billion won) in 2022 and joined Real Sociedad.
The transfer marked a turning point in his career. Kubo scored nine goals and nine assists in 44 games for Sociedad last season, his best performance since his debut in the first division.
This season, he has demonstrated his more seasoned ability to manage games. He has had five goals and three assists throughout all competitions. He has been a perfect fit to be classified as the core of Sociedad. 토토사이트
Rumors of Real Madrid’s return have been raised due to explosive growth. Real, which has 50% ownership of Kubo, is analyzed to be in a position to bring him back if he wants.
Among them, Manchester City has emerged as a strong competitor. According to the latest report, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is paying attention to Kubo’s performance this season and has started considering recruiting him ahead of the transfer market in January next year.
Chances are high that the deal will be successful. “Cubo has a buyout clause of 60 million euros (about 85 billion won). This is enough to pay for Manchester City,” said Cutoffside.
The move is interpreted as Manchester City’s move to recruit players to prepare for the future. Manchester City currently uses Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden as its right wingers. Adding Kubo to this, it is expected that the team will naturally change generations.
