Takefusa Kubo, one of the key players of Real Sociedad in the last season, has shown a level below expectations at the beginning of the current campaign. Despite being considered one of the players with the most potential on the team, his performance after the Asia Cup has not been the same. This decline has raised alarms within the Basque club, which may be considering the possibility of a sale to finance future projects.

His criticisms of Real Sociedad could pose a problem

With a 60 million euro release clause, Kubo had renewed his contract until 2029, establishing himself as one of the club's long-term promises. However, the lack of consistency in his game and his noticeable frustration on and off the field are affecting his image. In addition to these difficulties, there are some controversial statements, especially regarding his role in the Japanese national team, where he hinted that Real Sociedad is not fully utilizing his skills in set-piece plays.

These words have not gone unnoticed in Gipuzkoa, causing some discomfort within the club. While Kubo tries to regain his best form, the possibility of a transfer is starting to gain momentum, given the interest from big teams and Real Sociedad's need to balance its finances. With a constantly active market, Kubo's sale could be a tempting option if his performance does not improve in the coming weeks.
