Will Japan's national team ace Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad) wear the Liverpool uniform.
Liverpool's regional media Anfield Watch reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Is the ball suitable for Liverpool?' Referring to Mohamed Salah (Egypt), who re-signed with Liverpool by 2027, the media said, "'Sala will remain in Liverpool next season, but the club will not stop planning to find a new face to replace him.'" The possibility of recruiting Gubo has also increased as the possibility of Salah not being able to stand on the European stage next season due to injury has increased." It is also unlikely that Salah's right side will be emptied for the time being, saying 'The ball can be used not only on both sides but also on the front-line striker and No. 10' If Gubo comes to Liverpool, versatility can be a key role for Liverpool. At the same time, he predicted that `Gubo will be able to take on the left side or the 9th role, which is similar to that of Luis Diaz this season.'

Liverpool is considered a team that has been steadily pursuing the recruitment of Gubo. During the transfer market last winter, Spanish media reported that Liverpool and FC Barcelona were interested in recruiting Gubo. Catalan media outlet Enotesseyes said on January 20 that `Riverpool and Barcelona's interest is Gubo, not Martin Subimendi, who is well known,' adding that `Riverpool is looking for a replacement with the possibility of Mohamed Salah's transfer in mind.' It also pointed out that `Liverpool is willing to pay for the recruitment of Gubo, and the possibility of making an offer that includes trades such as Federico Chiesa or Endo Wataru to reduce the cost of the transfer is also discussed.'
Sociedad is known to have set Kubo's buyout at 60 million euros (about 90.1 billion won). Liverpool also selected Gubo as a substitute for Salah last summer and tried to recruit him, but did not make any practical moves, such as a proposal close to a buyout. Sociedad, who signed with Gubo until the summer of 2027, is unlikely to be over the bargain price. In the end, Liverpool will have to be accompanied by a move to meet the buyout amount in order to reach the actual recruitment of Gubo.
