Japan\'s "Sponichi" said on the 22nd (Korea time), "Liverpool has attracted the attention of many soccer fans and experts by promoting the recruitment of Takefusa Kubo," adding, "Liverpool is preparing to offer a considerable amount of money to recruit Kubo and is also preparing a favorable contract proposal. This indicates that Liverpool has serious intentions and strategic plans for future team formation."

Gubo is an attacking midfielder born in 2001 and is an all-around resource that can handle both wings, including attacking midfielders, and sometimes even shadow strikers. His fast-paced performance, simple and effective dribbling, and his crosses and shootings after the breakthrough are all threatening. Gubo, who played for Real Sociedad in the 2023-2024 season, played in 41 official matches, scoring seven goals and five assists, and displayed outstanding performance. One

Sponich said, "Gubo, a rising star in Spain\'s La Liga, has shown tremendous potential. The 23-year-old has demonstrated his ability to make a big impact on high-quality matches by playing in La Liga. With his experience and skills to succeed in the Premier League, he is considered an attractive player for Liverpool."

Although he is clearly the best talent in the league, the excitement of the Japanese media was excessive. Regarding Kubo\'s transfer fee, Sponichi explained, "Liverpool is ready to offer 65 million euros (about 98.3 billion won) for Kubo, which is 5 million euros higher than Kubo\'s buyout clause set by Sociedad."

An amount that cannot make sense in common sense. Basically, due to the structure of Spain\'s La Liga, the team has to discuss the player\'s transfer unconditionally as long as they pay for the buyout. There is no reason to pay 65 million euros, which is more expensive than the buyout in such a situation. Even if negotiations don\'t go well, they don\'t have to pay 5 million euros more to bring in a player who can be brought in for 60 million euros.

The reason Liverpool wanted Gubo so much was Mohamed Salah. Sponich said, "Sala\'s future uncertainty made him try to recruit Gubo. Salah is in the last year of his contract and a transfer to Saudi Arabia is being discussed. Liverpool has not decided to sell Salah, but it is true that future plans are needed. Gubo is left-footed and plays as a right winger. He is considered a potential successor to Salah."

"Gubo proved his ability in La Liga, but he needs to improve his scoring ability to fill Salah\'s vacancy. Gubo scored seven goals last season, which is nowhere near Salah\'s amazing scoring ability. Under Liverpool\'s support and Arne Slot\'s guidance, Gubo will be able to develop his performance to another level," he said.

In fact, Sociedad re-signed with Gubo early on. Gubo signed a long-term contract with Sociedad in February until 2029. Sociedad quickly re-signed with Gubo three years before the expiration of his contract at the time. That\'s how confident he was in Gubo\'s potential.

He is obviously a talented player, but the excessive excitement of the Japanese media also comes from his annual salary. Sponich said Liverpool would offer Kubo 15 million euros (22.7 billion won or 11.25 million dollars). Fifteen million euros is more than 400 million euros a week. However, Liverpool has the strictest weekly structure among PL clubs.

The absolute ace of Liverpool, Salah, receives 350,000 euros (528.9 million won), while key players such as Virgil van Dijk only receive 220,000 euros (332 million won). In fact, Takumi Minamino, who was similarly expected in Japan, only received 70,000 euros (105 million won) at the time.메이저사이트

If Sponichi\'s claim is true, Liverpool will break all the operating principles and bring Gubo for more than the buyout and give him the next salary in the team. In short, it can only be seen as reflecting the excitement of the Japanese media.
