Manchester United have set their sights on an emerging talent to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming summer transfer market. According to information revealed by Fichajes.net, the English club has shown solid interest in acquiring Takefusa Kubo, the promising 22-year-old Japanese right winger.
Kubo, who currently plays for Real Sociedad, ends his contract in the summer of 2027. However, his possible transfer will not be an easy task due to a particularity in his contractual situation. Real Madrid, the club to which he previously belonged, keeps 50% of the capital gains from a future transfer of the player, which complicates negotiations.
Manchester United wants to break the market with the signing of Kubo
Kubo’s performance this season has been outstanding, accumulating five goals and two assists in nine games played in competitions such as La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. Since his arrival at the Basque club in the summer of 2022, the young winger has become a key piece in Real Sociedad’s scheme.
Manchester United’s interest in Kubo arises from the need to strengthen their attacking line, specifically on the right wing. The Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho situation has become complicated, with Sancho in particular not maintaining a good relationship with current coach Erik Ten Hag.
Despite the challenges presented by the negotiation, there is no doubt that Manchester United is willing to make an effort to incorporate Kubo into their ranks in the summer of 2024. The possibility of having Japanese talent at Old Trafford has generated great expectation among the fans of the English club, who eagerly await the outcome of this interesting transfer story in the world of football.
