It was revealed on the 19th that the prestigious English club Liverpool is preparing a penalty fee of 65 million euros (approximately 11.145 billion yen) and an annual salary of 15 million euros (approximately 2.57 billion yen) to acquire Japanese national team midfielder Takefusa Kubo (23, Real Sociedad). This was revealed by multiple English sources. If the transfer goes through, both will be the largest contracts in Japanese soccer history.
Kubo's name has been raised as a candidate for Liverpool since the end of last season as a successor to Egyptian national team striker Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires next summer and who may be transferred this summer. In February of this year, he extended his contract with Real Sociedad until June 2029. The set penalty fee (transfer fee) is said to be 60 million euros (approximately 10.28 billion yen), but Liverpool is preparing a penalty fee of approximately 11.1 billion yen that exceeds that and an extraordinary annual salary of approximately 2.6 billion yen.
