The situation surrounding Liverpool in the past couple of weeks has been rather hilarious. It feels like they have been linked with more players after the transfer window than they were linked with during the recently concluded summer window.
Despite not making any additions to the squad for this season other than Federico Chiesa, the Anfield side have made the perfect start to the life after Jurgen Klopp. The club has won all their games so far and have done so without conceding a single goal under Arne Slot.
News – Liverpool prepared to break policy to sign deal with star willing to accept – Report
Liverpool are once again linked with a move to sign La Liga playmaker, Takefusa Kubo, from Real Sociedad.
Last month, renowned Madrid based outlet, AS revealed that the Merseysiders were willing to pay the Japanese star’s release clause of £50.6m, but the player decided to stay with Real Sociedad. The 23-year-old also rejected big offers from Saudi Arabia to stay in Spain.
Now, another Spanish source, Fichajes, have reported that Liverpool have not given up and they will move again to finally sign Takefusa Kubo.
The media outlet also claim that the Asian star has a clause worth £50.6m and the Reds have no obstacle in paying that sum.
Liverpool are unlikely to have any issues paying the release clause for Kubo considering they were ready to splash even more to secure the signature of Martin Zubimendi in the summer. The issue with these La Real players has been convincing them to leave.
There is something about the Basque club that makes players stay loyal to them. Stars at San Mames like Kubo, Zubimendi and Mikel Oyarzabal have opted to stay despite obvious interest in them but things could change in the future.
Takefusa Kubo, who netted the winner against Espanyol in the league last month, deserves to play for a top club and a move to Liverpool would be perfect for him.
The Japanese wonder boy could be the one to replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield and only time will tell if the club can get a deal done for him in the coming windows.
