Atletico Madrid has chosen Griezmann's successor. It's like Takefusa Kubo.
Spain's Pichahes reported on the 9th (Korea Standard Time) 'Atletico is seeking to recruit Takefusa Kubo'
Pichahes wants to sign Gubo as a priority for the summer transfer market. Gubo, who plays for Real Sociedad, could be the most talked-about name if he signs with Atletico this summer. Gubo's aggressive ability could be an ideal choice for Atletico. Coach Simeone highly appreciated this point because his adaptation to La Liga has already been proven.

Gubo, one of La Liga's leading wingers, is one of the players who has been receiving hot attention in the recent transfer market. Gubo, who grew up through both the Barcelona Academy 'La Masia' and Real Madrid youth teams with outstanding talent from a young age, later began to show off his potential through loans to Villarreal, Getafe and Mallorca via Tokyo FC and Yokohama.
The transfer to Real Sociedad was the turning point. Gubo, who moved to Sociedad ahead of the 2022-2023 season, has been reborn as an ace from a prospect. He was a leading player in Sociedad's rise with nine goals and seven assists in the 2022-2023 season and was considered one of the top wingers in La Liga. The previous 2023-2024 season also accumulated seven goals and five assists in 41 official games. He has played in 43 games as the team's main player this season, scoring seven goals and four assists.
Interest in Kubo has been steadily pouring in since last summer. He played actively in the English Premier League (EPL) first. Liverpool was initially reported to have prepared to recruit Gubo along with the possibility of Mohamed Salah's transfer, and Tottenham and Bayern Munich were recently mentioned as candidates for recruitment.

Atletico want Gubo because of the possibility of Antoine Griezmann's departure. Griezmann is likely to leave Atletico for the U.S. Major League Soccer after this season. It is known that Griezmann has already held talks with Atletico, and there are many news that he is weighing up the breakup.
Pichahes said 'Atletico sees Gubo as the ideal successor if Griezmann leaves' If Atletico, which has paid attention to Gubo's performance as a candidate to replace Griezmann, tries to recruit him in earnest, attention will be paid to Gubo's upcoming summer moves.
The transfer fee is also expected to be small. Gubo is known to have a buyout of 60 million euros (about 97 billion won). Considering Kubo's position, it is expected to pay a transfer fee at the buyout level. Kim Min-jae may set a new record of more than 50 million euros (about 81 billion won), the highest transfer fee ever recorded for an Asian player when he transferred to Bayern Munich.
Whether Japan's representative striker Kubo will be able to start his big club life by moving to one of the most prestigious teams in La Liga is expected to receive great attention from Japanese fans this summer.
