Manchester City and Real Madrid Eyeing Talented Young Star Takefusa Kubo

Last season, Manchester City emerged as one of Europe’s best teams, securing a historic Treble, including their first-ever Champions League title. During their journey, they convincingly defeated Real Madrid in the semi-finals. This season, both clubs seem poised for another encounter, not just on the pitch but also in the transfer market.

Manchester City, known for their continuous squad improvements, have set their sights on a young talent who is also a target for Real Madrid: Takefusa Kubo. The Japanese sensation is one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe, with his strong start to the season impressing many.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester City representatives requested seats for a derby match between Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao on September 30, where Kubo shone, scoring a goal in Real Sociedad’s 3-0 win. He has established himself as one of La Liga’s standout players this season and has also made an impact in the Champions League.

Real Madrid, who parted ways with Kubo before he made a senior team appearance, are rumored to be considering bringing him back next summer, especially given his impressive form at Real Sociedad. Kubo’s current deal reportedly includes a €60 million release clause, but Real Madrid holds a 50% sell-on clause, enabling them to sign him for half that amount.

The competition between Manchester City and Real Madrid for the talented Takefusa Kubo promises to be intriguing, both on and off the pitch.
