According to reports, Liverpool is “prepared to launch an offensive” to sign Takefusa Kubo, and the coming weeks are expected to be critical for his future.

Anfield is expected to undergo a lot of renovations in the approaching summer. With the departure of Jorg Schmadtke and Jurgen Klopp, a new sporting director and manager will take over.

There can also be a few well-known players leaving.

The Saudi Pro League will persist in its pursuit of signing Mohamed Salah this summer, if reports are to be believed.

According to one story, Liverpool could practically choose their own price, and the £200 million mark has been floated.

Even though the Egyptian is a modern-day icon at his club, he will still have one year remaining on his contract come summer, and that amount is significant for a player who would be available for free in a year. It would be impossible for any club to turn down that money for any player.

The Reds are aware that they could need to bring in a new player in the summer to replace Salah.

The shortlist of wingers includes players like Leroy Sane, Raphinha, and Kubo of Real Sociedad; the latter may be the primary target.

They are “prepared to launch an offensive” against the Sociedad player, who has seven goals and three assists in La Liga this season, according to sources circulating in Spain.

They are “determined” to bring him on board, according to the article.

Since Kubo has a £51 million release clause, their blitz might be more focused on the player’s terms rather than a fee because they know that amount will get them to the winger’s bargaining table.

It appears that they will also need to devise a very compelling offer for him.

His “current desire is to remain in Spain,” according to reports. When he transferred to Barcelona’s academy from his home Japan, he played there at the young level.

After spending some time back in Japan, he eventually signed with Real Madrid in 2019 and moved back to Spain, though he never made a game throughout his three years there before joining Sociedad.

Kubo started to show promise with Sociedad after the season, scoring nine goals and dishing out nine assists across all competitions. Rumor had it that Real Madrid would be interested in signing him, but their 50% sell-on clause meant they would only be footing the bill for half of his cost.

However, it was recently stated that Liverpool will not let the La Liga powerhouses stop them in their pursuit of the Japan international.

According to the recent report, “there is the possibility” of a return to Real, as the team weighs its alternatives.

In any event, it’s stated that Kubo’s future will be decided over the “next few weeks,” and Liverpool wants to win.
