Liverpool hunt for Kubo

Liverpool want Kubo.

British media reported that Liverpool have maintained contact with Kubo's representatives over the past year. In January 2024, the Anfield team discussed the striker's future but did not make an official offer to Sociedad.

Kubo has a release clause of around £50m. Liverpool are currently prioritising negotiations to keep Salah. If the deal falls through, the Anfield team will turn to Kubo as a replacement.

In addition to Liverpool, Tottenham and Bayern Munich are also closely monitoring this Japanese player.

Kubo has been making a big impact at Sociedad in La Liga, scoring seven goals and providing four assists for the Spanish club. His impressive performances in the Copa del Rey, especially in the semi-final against Real Madrid, have earned him praise.

Sociedad are currently 10th in La Liga and are in danger of missing out on European football next season. If they fail to finish in the top eight, the club will likely have to sell key players. In addition to Kubo, Martin Zubimendi could also leave. The midfielder is wanted by Real Madrid and Arsenal.

Real Madrid have the right to buy back Kubo, but this is unlikely. The crowded attack with Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo makes "Los Blancos" not interested in Kubo.

However, if Sociedad sell Kubo to another team, Real Madrid will receive 50% of the transfer fee thanks to a clause inserted in the contract.

Japanese striker Daizen Maeda impressed at Celtic with a defensive sprint in the 86th minute as Celtic led St Johnstone 6-0 in the sixth round of the Scottish Premiership.
