Real Madrid open to the departure of Japanese winger for €15 million

Real Madrid completed the signing of Takefusa Kubo from FC Tokyo for a €2 million fee in June 2019. The player was dubbed as the Japanese Messi, and played for Barcelona’s youth team from 2011-2015.

Since then, Kubo has gone on loan to several clubs in La Liga. Most recently, he moved to RCD Mallorca where he has once again proved his mettle.

According to reports from Fichajes, Real Madrid are prepared to sell the youngster, and several clubs are interested in his signing. Mallorca are reportedly preparing their first offer and intend to present it in the coming weeks.

A big factor in the operation would be the Palma based side’s continuity in La Liga. Luis Garcia’s team currently sit two points above the relegation zone and risk losing the player if they drop down.

Real Madrid could charge a fee of €10-€15 million for Kubo’s transfer. Moreover, they are expected to retain 50% of the player’s rights.

In 15 league starts for Mallorca, Kubo has scored one goal. He averages two shots per game and produces 1.5 key passes in the same duration. So far, he has created three big chances and missed one.

Carlo Ancelotti does not fancy the winger’s future at Real Madrid and has given the green light for his sale. Moreover, the potential arrival of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe in the summer further reduces the need for the Japanese player.
