Real Madrid and Real Sociedad will go head-to-head this Friday, with the Whites practically wrapping up La Liga and their minds already set on the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich.

In Imanol Alguacil’s squad is Takefusa Kubo, a player who is 50% owned by the Blancos. At the beginning of the season, there were whispers that the Japanese player could return to his former home, but this idea has lost considerable momentum over time.

Real Madrid’s management believes there is no place for him. The arrival of Mbappé and Endrick makes it very difficult for the Asian player to find a spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. In addition, another factor to consider is that Rodrygo and Brahim have been performing remarkably well.

The truth is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to earn a spot in the manager from Reggiolo’s team. This, of course, speaks volumes about the project that is in the pipeline for the Whites starting next season.

Highly Rated

Despite everything, it should be noted that Kubo is highly rated at Valdebebas. They consider him a player to be taken into account and one who has the qualities to be in a top European team.

However, this does not mean that the sporting directorate at Chamartín is willing to pay around 30 million euros for him. They believe it is not necessary and that it would not be in the player’s best interests either. Kubo, for his part, will be looking to put in a good performance this Friday.
