Will Kubo Takefusa 22 leave Real Sociedad for Liverpool? He is mentioned as a substitute for Mohamed Salah.


Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on Saturday that Liverpool is targeting Kubo as a player who will play Salah. Liverpool's interest stands out the most.


"Liverpool approached Kubo to recruit him this month. It seems that the approach was made even before the January transfer window opened," he added.


"Kubo is a left-footed right winger. Similar to Salah's characteristics. He could be Salah's successor."


However, it will not be easy to recruit him in the winter transfer market. "When Liverpool approached him, Kubo said he wanted to stay at Real Sociedad this season," the media said.


"His contract ends in the summer of 2027. Real Sociedad is not under pressure to sell him," he said.


Kubo, who grew up in the Barcelona youth team in Spain, is a promising winger who recorded the youngest Japanese J-League debut 15 years, 5 months and 1 day and the youngest score 15 years and 10 months at FC Tokyo in 2016.


Highly regarded as a child, he signed a contract with Real Madrid in the 2019-20 season. He did not play for Real Madrid. He has been on loan with several teams including Mallorca, Villarreal, and Getafe. Kubo, who decided to transfer to Real Sociedad in the 2022-23 season, is playing a key role in the team through his outstanding performances. 스포츠토토사이트


He has displayed remarkable performance this season. He has six goals and four assists in a total of 25 matches. He has six goals and three assists in 18 matches in La Liga, and has played in 16 matches as a starter.


The value has increased. He has the highest ransom among Asian players. He beat Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Kang-in. The statistical media "Transfer Markt" updated the ransom of Asian players in December last year. Kubo's transfer fee has been increased from 30 million euros to 60 million euros.


Team Talk said, "Kubo played for the Japanese national team at the Asian Cup. It could be difficult to complete the contract in January. If he returns to Spain in the second half of the season, Liverpool will be aiming for the summer transfer market," adding, "The club that is most interested in Kubo is Liverpool."
