Liverpool's local media completely denied Kubo's possibility of going to Liverpool.
Recently, news poured out that Liverpool was interested in Japanese national winger Takefusa Kubo. In particular, Japan's "Sponichi" made headlines, saying, "The transfer negotiations have entered the final stage. Kubo's agent is already there."
Kubo was the main winger of Real Sociedad, which ranked fourth and sixth in the Spanish Primera Liga over the past two seasons. During the last season, he had seven goals and four assists in 30 matches (30 starts). In the first half of the season, he was evaluated as one of the best players in the league.
Kubo has steadily gained experience in La Liga since his time in Mallorca in the 2019-2020 season when he transferred to Real Madrid on loan, and has improved since his complete transfer to Real Sociedad. It is also highlighted that he is at the age of 23 to enter his prime.
Liverpool needs a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. Kubo, a left-footed right winger with the same position, could be the answer.
However, local media are showing a sour reaction. "There have been many rumors that Kubo for Japan's Real Sociedad will come to Anfield for a large amount of money recently," the British newspaper Liverpool Echo said on July 23. "Based on what we have seen, such talk is hasty and there is no sign that Kubo will become a Liverpool player."

Currently, Liverpool's offense is quantitatively sufficient. In addition to Salah, there are Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and Cody Hakpo. Without a release, it is not easy to "big signing." This is why there is a high possibility that Kubo will not actually be recruited.
