Fichajes reports that Arsenal are targeting Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo and are preparing a winter transfer bid of around €45 million. The move could prove tricky, though, since Kubo has a €60 million release clause, leaving the London club with a challenging negotiation ahead.
Real Sociedad views keeping him as crucial for their European ambitions and at the top of La Liga. Yet Arsenal’s interest complicates matters: should the club hold onto him until summer, or cash in on a multi-million-dollar move in January?
The report also mentions, citing sources, that Kubo is open to joining Arsenal, recognizing it as a move that could advance his football career. The English club would allow him to play in a more competitive setting.
