Liverpool They are reportedly “determined” to sign Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo, according to a Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After joining real Madrid In 2019, the Japanese never managed to find his place at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. He went out on loan several times before finally signing permanently for Real a couple of years ago.
Following his move to the Reale Arena, the 23-year-old has demonstrated his qualities in La Liga in recent times and has established himself as a talismanic figure in Imanol Alguacil's starting eleven.
Now, Transfers claims that Liverpool are planning to sign a new right attacker as a possible long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah – whose current contract with the Reds is set to expire at the end of this season.

Kubo to Liverpool
However, the report says Liverpool are “determined” to sign him and willing to “do everything possible” to get the deal done. The Japanese would be willing to leave Anoeta to sign for a big club like Merseyside if he receives a convincing offer.
The Japanese international still has more than four and a half years left on his contract and has a 50 million pounds termination clause in your agreement.
Kubo is a technically sound player and has the potential to become a top-level attacker in the future. He is quick, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has the ability to make passes between the lines, can create opportunities for his attacking teammates, is efficient at finishing his chances and also works hard out of possession.
However, the striker is not a physically strong player and there are concerns that he may perform at his best in a physical league like first division.
It will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club finally make a concrete decision to sign Kubo next year to strengthen the attacking department.
Meanwhile, after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Villa AstonLiverpool are now five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
