BIG NEWS: Atlético Madrid is going for the signing of Takefusa Kubo

Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Takefusa Kubo as one of its priorities for the upcoming transfer market, as reported by Nacional CAT. The Japanese, who is going through a stellar moment with Real Sociedad, could become one of the most talked-about names of the summer if the red and white club decides to take the definitive step to sign him. At the Metropolitano, they see him as the ideal heir in case Antoine Griezmann leaves the team at the end of the season.

Diego Pablo Simeone's interest in the Japanese winger is not new, but it has gained strength in recent weeks, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding the future of the French forward. The possibility that Griezmann receives offers from leagues such as the Saudi or the American has led the coaching staff to look for a quality replacement, and Kubo fits the bill due to his talent, youth, and experience in the Spanish league.

His technical profile, coupled with the ability to play in different offensive positions, makes him an ideal option for an ambitious Atlético looking to rebuild. Furthermore, his adaptation to the rhythm of LaLiga has already been well proven, something that Simeone highly values when considering immediate reinforcements.

From San Sebastián, they would not frown upon negotiations if a convincing proposal arrives. The player's release clause is around 60 million euros, but the Madrid club is confident in negotiating down or including players to lower the deal's cost. Meanwhile, Premier League clubs are also monitoring his progress, although the possibility of continuing to compete in Spain seems to be an enticing option for Kubo himself. The market is just beginning, but Atlético is already planning its moves ambitiously.
