The board of Real Sociedad has decided to make a decisive turn in its sports strategy: Takefusa Kubo is on the way out. A combination of poor performance, physical discomfort, and internal wear has led the Basque club to consider his exit in the winter market.

The club's financial demands and doubts about his commitment have precipitated a situation that until recently seemed unlikely.

Real Sociedad evaluates Takefusa Kubo's exit operation

Real Sociedad has been uncomfortable with Takefusa Kubo for months. The player, who once shone with speed and dribbling at Anoeta, is going through his toughest period: multiple injuries in his right ankle, little prominence in crucial matches, and national team call-ups that seem to have accelerated his decline.

The club believes it is no longer getting enough from Kubo, and his high salary combined with his irregular availability make him an asset that is starting to weigh more than contribute.

In this context, Real Sociedad is considering entertaining offers for the Japanese player. It is rumored that they may accept amounts below his release clause (previously set at around 60 million euros) to close a chapter they believe is more of a burden than a benefit.

Various sources indicate that a figure around 40 million could satisfy the club and alleviate a burden they now find unsustainable.

Takefusa Kubo and outside interest as Real Sociedad manages the pressure

While Real Sociedad considers selling Takefusa Kubo, several Premier League clubs are following suit. Teams like Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, or Everton have shown interest, with offers ranging between 30 and 40 million euros.

This situation poses a dilemma for Real Sociedad: keep the player as an offensive reference or allow his exit to unlock resources and pave the way for a reconstruction.

Kubo's reduced role in the starting eleven, where he has only started in two of the last six games and his minutes have decreased, reinforces the club's feeling that it's time to close this chapter.

The Anoeta offices are not willing to wait any longer for a full recovery or change in attitude, and the decision seems to be made: open the market for his sale.

Immediate future and decisions within Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad's strategy involves acting quickly in the winter market. While the summer period would traditionally be optimal for such moves, the club believes it can no longer rely on a player whose availability and commitment are in question. Streamlining the squad, reducing the wage bill, and potentially bringing in new players are top priorities. In this scenario, Takefusa Kubo emerges as the expendable piece to facilitate that process.

The operation not only has sporting implications but also financial ones: Real Sociedad must demonstrate solidity and consistency in its management, especially after declining performances and the need for restructuring in previous seasons. Selling Kubo, even with a depreciation compared to his maximum value, would allow the club to close a chapter and look to a new cycle.

In conclusion, Real Sociedad has seemingly made the firm decision to put Takefusa Kubo on the market. What was considered an offensive pillar just a year ago is now under review. The Basque club aims to revitalize its project and considers the departure of the Japanese player as a necessary step towards that transformation. The first step has been taken: now they must find a buyer.
