Liverpool 'willing to make' big push to sign Takefusa Kubo
Liverpool Real Madrid are reportedly “willing to make” a move to sign Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo, according to Italian outlet All of Juve.
The Merseyside club have been linked with numerous players throughout this transfer window but they have not opted to sign anyone to reinforce the squad.
Now, All of Juve reports that Liverpool are planning to sign a new winger like Luis Diaz and Mohamed SalahThe Yankees' future is currently at stake and they have identified Kubo as a serious option.
The report further claims that the Japanese has a £51m release clause in his current contract and that Liverpool are “willing to make significant financial efforts” to lure him to Anfield.
So, after failing to sign Martin Zubimendi, the Merseyside club are looking to sign another Real Sociedad star to strengthen their squad this summer.
Kubo to Liverpool
After moving to the Reale Arena from real MadridThe 23-year-old has established himself as a key player in Imanol Alguacil's starting eleven in recent times.
The youngster is a technically gifted player and has the ability to dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas. He can also play through balls, can create opportunities for fellow attackers and also has the efficiency to finish off his chances.
Kubo is still very young and has the potential to develop into a top player in the future. However, there are concerns that he lacks the physical attributes needed to thrive in a high-intensity league like the Premier League.
Liverpool would therefore be well advised to explore other options to strengthen their attack. However, it will be interesting to see if the Anfield club ultimately opt to formalise their interest in signing the 23-year-old before the end of this transfer window.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that as well as bolstering their attack, Liverpool are also interested in signing a new midfielder and centre-back. Goalkeeping is an area they are also looking to strengthen and Giorgi Mamardashvili has been heavily talked about, but he is set to leave on loan upon joining.
With the transfer deadline approaching first, it remains to be seen how many new signings Arne Slot's side will ultimately make in the coming days.
