Real Sociedad buying Real Madrid midfielder Takefusa Kubo

Real Sociedad are wrapping up a deal for Real Madrid midfielder Takefusa Kubo.

Marca says after a slight hiccup in talks, Notices de Gipuzkoa are reporting both parties have seemingly agreed on terms.

Although Los Blancos initially wanted to send the Japanese international away on loan, Real Sociedad rejected that offer.

Negotiations with La Real, led by Jokin Aperribay and Roberto Olabe, have been straightforward.

Kubo was presented with a five-year contract that would give him the salary he'd receive if he stayed at Real Madrid.

The chance to join a team with the attacking style of Real Sociedad, and one that plays in the Europa League, always made them Kubo's first choice.
