According to a report by Fichajes, Manchester City are interested in signing the Japanese attacker Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad. However, they are set to face competition from Real Madrid, who have a first refusal on the 22-year-old winger.

Despite having a release clause of €60 million in his contract, Manchester City are willing to pay the amount. However, Real Madrid’s first refusal gives them an advantage in the transfer race. It remains to be seen if the Spanish giants are willing to meet the release clause to secure the services of the talented attacker.

Kubo has been in excellent form for Real Sociedad, registering six goals and four assists across all competitions this season. His versatility allows him to operate as a winger on either flank or as a central attacking midfielder, making him an attractive option for Manchester City.

The Premier League champions signed Jeremy Doku as a left winger earlier in the season, but are looking to bring in a specialist option for the right flank. Kubo fits the profile and could provide them with the quality and depth they need in that position.

With Manchester City consistently competing for major trophies, Kubo could see this as an opportunity to showcase his abilities at a higher level. On the other hand, the chance to return to his boyhood club, Real Madrid, could also be a tempting proposition for the player.

Both clubs have the financial capability to make the deal happen, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming weeks. Real Madrid could certainly benefit from more quality in their attack, and signing a right-sided winger like Kubo would be a good decision for the club.
