Madrid will keep 50% of Kubo's rights

Real Madrid and Real Sociedad are close to agreeing a deal for the transfer of Takefusa Kubo. 'Los Blancos' wanted to loan him out, but the Basque club insisted that they needed an operation that would fit in better with their long-term plans and have managed to get his signing almost done for five seasons.

The newspaper 'Marca' is the media outlet that has brought to light these issues that remain to be resolved. The 'Merengues' will keep 50% of the Japanese player's rights and will be able to buy him back. In this way, if the Basques sell him in a while, this will have a direct impact, and for good, on the Santiago Bernabeu's financial situation.

In fact, the feeling in the offices of Concha Espina is that the youth academy player is expected to return if his level improves drastically.
