PSG, Everton Face LaLiga Club Decision Over Aston Villa Transfer Target

Fichajes reports that Real Sociedad’s board of directors is preparing a major shift in its sporting strategy: Kubo is expected to leave. The Basque club has grown concerned over a combination of underwhelming performances, physical struggles, and internal fatigue, prompting them to explore a winter transfer exit.

Financial pressures and lingering doubts about Kubo’s commitment have pushed the situation into reality, despite it once seeming unlikely.

The report adds that Real Sociedad may entertain offers for the Japanese attacker, potentially even below his previously noted buyout clause of around €60 million. The club appears ready to move on from a chapter it feels has become more burdensome than beneficial.

As a result, Real Sociedad now faces a tough decision: retain Kubo as a key offensive contributor or allow him to leave, freeing up resources for a potential rebuild.

Kubo has lost ground in the starting lineup, starting only two of the last six matches and seeing his playing time reduced, which has reinforced the club’s sense that his chapter may end.

At the Anoeta offices, patience has run out. The team are no longer willing to wait for a full recovery or a change in attitude, and the path forward appears clear. They are ready to explore the market for a sale.
