Report: Real Madrid could bag €30 million from Real Sociedad star | OneFootball

Arda Guler was the hero for Real Madrid earlier this week when Los Blancos secured a tight 1-0 win over Real Sociedad to edge closer to the title.

Indeed, the men in white were heavily rotated on the night with the UEFA Champions League semifinal in. Yet, one cannot deny that La Real put up a splendid fight at the Reale Arena.

One of the players who shone brightest for Imanol Alguacil’s men last night was former Real Madrid star, Takefusa Kubo. The 22-year-old winger started on the night producing one shot on target, three key passes and completing three successful dribbles in the process.

Sale on the cards

Kubo has impressed during his spell at Real Sociedad and has grown into one of the Basque side’s most reliable players. Several top clubs are interested in his signing, and his release clause stands at €60 million.

Liverpool are one of the European giants interested in his acquisition and are willing to shell out the aforementioned amount. This comes as massive news for Real Madrid for it indirectly brings a significant amount to their coffers, as revealed by Defensa Central.

Los Blancos retain 50% of Kubo’s rights and are thus entitled to €30 million should any club pay his release clause and sign him. With a massive summer up ahead, an inflow of such a sum would undoubtedly help the club’s finances.

Cut-throat competition

A player of Kubo’s calibre is indeed worthy of playing at Real Madrid. His trickery down the flank makes him a difficult customer to deal with and an asset for Los Blancos’ counter-attacking football.

As it stands, however, Real Madrid are overstocked in the attacking midfield department with Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler all fighting for one spot.

With Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe and Endrick set to fight for the places in attack next season, there is clearly no space for the youngster’s incorporation.

Kubo’s missing out on a place at the club of his dreams can only be described as unfortunate, but his sale would open many doors for the club and is in the best interest of all parties involved.
