During a press conference on Wednesday, Takefusa Kubo spoke about his recent contract extension. The Japanese was also asked about Kylian Mbappé, who will leave PSG to join Real Madrid this summer. A club that the Real Sociedad player knows well since he belonged to the Merengues in the past.

“The last time I spoke to him (Mbappé, editor’s note), I noticed that he had improved his Spanish, it must be that he is preparing”, confided with humor the Japanese footballer, who encountered KM7 a week ago in the Champions League. The two men will meet again on March 5 for the return leg in Spain.
