Take Kubo Close to Completing His Betrayal, Real Madrid Gives the OK and Will Receive a Fortune

One of the footballers who is standing out the least in LaLiga is Takefusa Kubo. The discreet performance of Real Sociedad's '14' greatly concerns the coaching staff led by Imanol Alguacil, as the Japanese footballer is one of their main footballing assets. Nevertheless, the good impressions recorded during previous seasons have given him sufficient credit to remain in the spotlight of several elite clubs.

The negative dynamic that he would be experiencing now in the txuri-urdin team, despite his recent renewal until the summer of 2029, would place him on the exit ramp. According to the information handled by 'El Nacional', Takefusa Kubo would have attracted the attention of a team that seeks a boost to complete its attack during the upcoming summer markets.

Atlético de Madrid is witnessing the last flashes of quality from Antoine Griezmann, whose recent performances have raised strong discontent among a sector of the colchoneros fans. In that sense, the sports management of the Madrid squad would have already launched in search of his replacement to try to make the transition as smooth as possible. The chosen footballer, according to 'El Nacional', would be Take Kubo himself.

The Catalan digital newspaper points out that "negotiations would have already begun" for Takefusa Kubo to wear the red and white in the coming seasons, prompting the entry of Real Madrid into those conversations. Because the white club still holds 50% of the Japanese striker's transfer rights, as well as the possibility of paying a buyback clause to recover him definitively.

Operation Underway

His return to Santiago Bernabéu locker room was briefly considered after the departure of Karim Benzema and the failure to sign Kylian Mbappé as a free agent. But the executives led by Florentino Pérez, with the forward line complete, know that the Asian striker has no place in the first team. That's why they have allowed him to fully settle at Real Sociedad, waiting for his departure from the Reale Arena someday.

That moment, judging by the information published by 'El Nacional', would be much closer than expected at the Valdebebas offices. Takefusa Kubo would switch from Real Sociedad to Atlético de Madrid, an operation that would cost approximately 60 million euros. The release clause set by the txuri-urdin leaders, however, would leave some money in the white treasury.

By virtue of those transfer rights still held by Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabéu coffers would receive part of the money used in that transfer. However, Real Sociedad would not be very willing to part with their top star. Not only because he is the best player Imanol Alguacil has at his disposal.

But because Takefusa Kubo has become the cornerstone of the current sports project of the Basque blanquiazul squad, renewed until the summer of 2029. The constant promise of playing in the Champions League in San Sebastián has kept the Japanese talent very happy, but the distance from European positions would be definitive for his continuity.
