The newspaper 'Marca' reports on the sale of Takefusa Kubo to Real Sociedad. The 'Merengues' wanted him to leave on loan, but have accepted that he leaves as a transfer in exchange for more favourable conditions for their coffers and for their sporting planning. It is not yet official.
Real Madrid and Real Sociedad are close to agreeing a deal for the transfer of Takefusa Kubo. 'Los Blancos' wanted to loan him out, but the Basque club insisted that they needed an operation that would fit in better with their long-term plans and have managed to get his signing almost done for five seasons.
The newspaper 'Marca' is the media outlet that has brought to light these issues that remain to be resolved. The 'Merengues' will keep 50% of the Japanese player's rights and will be able to buy him back. In this way, if the Basques sell him in a while, this will have a direct impact, and for good, on the Santiago Bernabeu's financial situation.
In fact, the feeling in the offices of Concha Espina is that the youth academy player is expected to return if his level improves drastically. After all, he is a player in whom they have been investing for several seasons, not only on a monetary level, but also from a logistical point of view: they looked for loans to Mallorca, Villarreal and Getafe.
It is curious that, in this way, Kubo has become an expert in La Liga, having already spent three seasons in the country's elite. If his move to Real Sociedad is confirmed, he will need little time to adapt. He will only have to learn what Imanol wants from him on a tactical level.
