The Arsenal has set its sights on Takefusa Kubo, the current star of Real Sociedad, with the intention of making an offer close to 45 million euros in the winter transfer market.

The operation will not be easy, as the Japanese international has a 60 million euro release clause, putting the London club in a difficult negotiating position.

Kubo's Release Clause at Real Sociedad

The 23-year-old Japanese attacker has been one of the most decisive players in the last season of LaLiga. With 7 goals and 5 assists in 35 official matches in the 2023/24 season, Kubo established himself as a key player in Imanol Alguacil's scheme.

Real Sociedad considers his stay essential to compete in Europe and at the top of the Spanish league. However, Arsenal's interest raises a delicate scenario: whether to retain him until summer or accept a multimillion-euro transfer in January.

Arsenal's Plan to Strengthen the Attack

Mikel Arteta is looking to enhance the offensive options for the second half of the season. Despite reinforcing several positions in recent transfer windows, the board believes the team still needs more width to compete effectively in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have excelled under the Spanish coach's management, and the arrival of Takefusa Kubo could provide the team with another option to break down tight defenses. According to Opta data, the Japanese player averaged 2.1 successful dribbles per game in LaLiga, a statistic that places him among the most disruptive wingers in the league.

Kubo's View on a Potential Transfer

Various sources suggest that Kubo would be open to joining Arsenal, aware that it would be a career advancement. The English club would offer him the opportunity to compete in a more demanding environment surrounded by internationally renowned figures like Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice.

The former Real Madrid player has expressed in previous interviews his ambition to step into a more prominent stage. “My goal has always been to grow in Europe and test myself against the best,” he stated in recent comments to Spanish media.

Arsenal has the financial resources needed to handle the operation, but everything will depend on Real Sociedad's resistance, knowing that losing Kubo in January would be a severe blow to their ambitions.

The outcome of this negotiation will mark one of the most anticipated moves in the winter market. If the Londoners manage to finalize the deal, they would not only strengthen with a proven talent in Europe but also send a clear message: Arsenal is ready to invest heavily to compete for titles in all competitions.
