Liverpool recently tried to acquire Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad, according to Mundo Deportivo via Paisley Gates. Despite making a significant offer that matched his €60 million (£51M) release clause, the Japanese midfielder chose to stay with his current team. Nevertheless, recent reports suggest Liverpool is preparing a new bid for the 22-year-old talent.
Under La Liga rules, all contracts must include release clauses, and Kubo’s is no exception. Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Liverpool is determined to secure a deal for him, urging fans to keep an eye on his performances. The report indicates that Liverpool is taking a proactive stance, though negotiations might be complex.
Challenges arise as Kubo reportedly prefers to remain in Spain, yet Liverpool remains resolute in their pursuit. It’s uncertain whether their persistence will be successful. Liverpool is said to be considering a £51 million offer to Real Sociedad for Kubo, but the final decision rests with the player.
With Jurgen Klopp’s time at Liverpool approaching its end this season, there is speculation about Mohamed Salah’s future. Although beIN Sports suggests Salah will stay for another season, Liverpool will need to find a suitable replacement if he leaves. However, Kubo might not yet have the quality needed to fill the role of such a prominent player.
