Real Madrid are anticipated to add to their team in the next transfer windows. The team now has a number of talented players in its ranks, as seen by their great start to the season. However, their lack of depth cannot be overlooked. Constant injury issues haven’t helped either.
One of the regions where they are most limited is at the top. They definitely need to get a long-term striker and could use some help on the wings.
Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams has been connected with the club in recent months. However, it seems that Los Blancos have other intentions.
The Athletic Bilbao winger is said to have a release clause of €50 million. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez favors a move for Takefusa Kubo above a move for Williams, according to Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle).
The president of Real Madrid desires a move for a €60 million player.
Not long ago, Kubo was a Real Madrid player. However, he was unable to get into the first-team picture at the Santiago Bernabeu, instead spending time on loan at a number of teams.
He eventually joined Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022. He has made enormous progress since then and is currently one of the greatest players in La Liga.
Over the years, Real Madrid has been quite receptive to the concept of bringing back past stars. They signed Fran Garcia only last summer. Is Kubo next on that list?
According to reports, Kubo’s contract with Real Sociedad has a €60 million release clause. However, Real Madrid is said to hold a 50% sell-on clause for its former player. As a consequence, they might bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu for a sum of about €30 million.
