As per Spanish rumours, Tottenham Hotspur has made an offer for Real Sociedad player Takefusa Kubo, which has handed a blow to Liverpool.

Following his 2022 transfer from Real Madrid, the 22-year-old has become one of La Liga’s youthful forwards, excelling for Real Sociedad.

To the Premier League, Kubo?

Before officially joining Real Sociedad ahead of the 2022–2023 season, Kubo had four loan stints elsewhere and never made a senior appearance for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid may have regretted letting Kubo go in retrospect because he has been a fantastic addition for their La Liga opponents. In his 39 games this season in all competitions, he has seven goals and four assists.

His performance for Real Sociedad and Japan has fueled speculation in recent months that he would join the Premier League.

Reports tying the Egypt international to a move to the Saudi Pro League had Kubo touted as a possible Mohamed Salah successor at Liverpool. The Reds were reportedly getting ready to make an offer for the Japan international last month.

However, rumours from Spain claim that Spurs, who have “set their sights” on Kubo and are “determined” to sign him before the upcoming season, have already beaten them to the punch.

According to reports, Tottenham “made Real Sociedad an alluring offer of €50 million (£43 million) to acquire the services of the skilled midfielder.” He “has a release clause of 60 million euros, but they are determined to negotiate a lower price,” according to the statement.

Real Sociedad is faced with a challenge by Tottenham’s bid, as they might potentially lose a crucial component in their overall strategy.

Even though the Basque club has a 2029 contract with Kubo, the Spurs’ alluring offer may sway the board’s choice.

“Real could take the English club’s offer very seriously given the chance to bolster other areas of the team and the potential to receive a sizable financial benefit.”
