Former Real Madrid nugget, Takefusa Kubo clearly had her chance with the Merengue club. Multiplying loans whether in Mallorca, Villarreal and Getafe, he had finally spun in the summer of 2022 on the side of Real Sociedad, a club where he definitively exploded. Recruited for only 6.5 million euros, the Japanese international winger (42 capes, 6 goals) arrived to finally launch his career in La Liga, the Merengues having kept 50% on resale.
Very quickly, the left -hander became essential under the orders of his coach Imanol Alguacil. In three years, he has also played 133 matches for 23 goals and 18 offerings, asserting himself as a real detonator in his right corridor. What to see a good sale for Real Sociedad (and therefore Real Madrid) since its release clause is 60 million euros. This reason is nevertheless more difficult with an eleventh place in the championship for the Txuri Urdin.
Takefusa Kubo remains blurred on her future
What cause the anger of Takefusa Kubo at the end of the season. Noting an end of cycle with the announced departure of Imanol Alguacil and the complicated results of the Basque training which is outside European places, the 23-year-old spoke after the derby against Bilbao (0-0): “I miss this Real Sociedad a bit that dominated the game, which has chained opportunities, and lately, this has not been. We have a little more harm than in other years, at the start of the season. ”
Moreover, whoever is under contract until June 2029 has left doubt about his continuity in the Basque Country: “For the moment, I have a contract and my goal is to stay at Real and see it progress, but as the coach, you never know. But for the moment, I have a contract and I am still at Real. ” The fact remains that the current situation is not suitable for Takefusa Kubo who still has the possibility of reaching a European place since Rayo Vallecano (8th, 44 points) and Celta de Vigo (7th, 46 points) are 1 and 3 lengths from the Basques respectively. Without Europe and in a loss project, Takefusa Kubo may well open the door to a new challenge this summer.
