It seemed called to dominate the future right wing of the Real Madrid and to be the millionaire door of the club towards the desired Asian market, but Takefusa Kubo (Kawasaki ,, 2001) still does not pass the threshold of the local costumes of Chamartín And it is every time further. For him, tired of waiting since his signing in 2019, and by the Madrid team itself, confident its right -handed lane to Rodrygo, Brahim y Smiling. Today he visits the Spanish With the Royal Society, owner of its federative rights and 50% of what generates the surplus value of a future sale. The other 50% is from Madrid, who sold it by six million To the txuri-udin and that option was kept, now waiting for a millionaire income when someone approaches the 60 million of its clause.
To their 23 yearsKubo will return to Bernabéu with the same mood of revenge and the same accumulated rabies always, threatening football to the team that one day called Japan and recovered for Spanish football after having abandoned the lower Barça.
And is that Kubo’s story in the capital is that of waiting and rejection. A constant “no” that has conditioned the first stage of his career. He landed in the summer of 2019, being part of a teenage litter that was seen in the dome as the heiress of the golden age. They were there Vinicius y Valverdesigned in 2018, more Brahim, Rodrygo y Kubowhose signings arrived in 2019 next to Millita y Mendy.
Odegaard’s example
Of all of them, only Kubo has stayed on the road, sharing with Martin Odegaard The focus of the proscribed. At the time, the Norwegian decided that he was not going to wait and the club sold him to Arsenal For almost 40 million, prior brilliant step by Real Sociedad. His was fast and now he is the captain of the gunners.
In the case of Kubo, everything has been different. A limited peculiar situation from the beginning by its extra -community passport. The accumulation of foreigners in Madrid, especially Brazilian, forced the white team to Choose several Descartes since 2019and Rodrygo always won Kubo’s departure at the end. While the Brazilian grew alongside Vinicius in the Madrid attack, the Japanese lived complicated seasons among Mallorca, Getafe y Villarreal. Question of election and destination.
So Madrid won the Champions 2022 With Rodrygo as hero of the tie against Chelsea and the City at the time Kubo ended his second step in Mallorca. Before, he had asked to leave Villarreal in the middle of the year because Unai Emery He did not have him, and ended a few months in the Getafe of JOSÉ BORLÁLAS. A path of thorns that stirred his stomach, pressed media in Japan and with the obsession to shine in Europe.
White we have only seen in a preseason, that of 2019, when he was one of the protagonists for the illusion that aroused his signing. He went to American turns with Zidanehe had minutes and returned to put on the orders of Raúl in Castillawhere he shared some friendly with Rodrygo himself. A casting who ended up winning the Brazilian, who agreed to play several official games with the subsidiary.
The Japanese, meanwhile, watched the elite eagerly. «It was head. I had a lot of personality And very clear their decisions, ”sources consulted by this newspaper recall in Valdebebas. “I was very stressed in every training because I wanted to prove my worth,” he admitted a few months ago in an interview.
He did not debut in the official match with Madrid because he was transferred to Mallorca just before the start of that season. A decision that the club saw well for its formation, but that perhaps arrived too soon and the focus, far from the Bernabéu, went out. He did not play white again. Pandemia in 2020, games in 2021 and their definitive signing for Real in 2022 prevented it.
Delay in nationalizations
In that operation, Madrid saved a preferential option to recover and 50% of the surplus value of a future sale in exchange for six million. I still liking in Valdebebas, but the delay in the nationalizations of Milita, Rodrygo y Vinicius He extended everything. Three years later, everything seems to have changed. The Japanese renewed with the Real until 2029, although he maintained the clause at 60 million, a decision that slides the intention of a future sale.
Madrid has hole for extra -community, already nationalized Brazilians, but the new young left Smiling And Kubo’s name is more as a source of income than in the back of the shirt, waiting in Valdebebas that definitive leap in the Asian talent race. Today, in the return of Cup semifinals, new revalidation.
