The latest news reveals that Liverpool FC, after successfully bringing in Aero Endo last year, are quite satisfied with the presentation of their Japanese players and have the intention to make a comeback this summer. This time, they are targeting a 23-year-old midfield talent - "Japan's Mace" Kubo Kenyoung - and aiming to buy him outright for as much as 60 million euros (about HK$510 million).
Kubo Kenyoung started his soccer career in La Liga, and after years of refinement, he has shown a more mature and bold side in his two seasons at Real Sociedad. Last season, he played 30 matches in La Liga, contributing 7 goals and 4 assists, helping his team finish in the top 16 of the Europa League. It's worth noting that Liverpool's new coach, Schillo, has a fondness for Japanese players, and given the number of Japanese players who have played in the Dutch Eredivisie in the past, he has full confidence in the future of the "Toyo Soldiers". Kubo Kenyoung, a top Japanese player, has the strength and potential to take his place in the Premier League, and Schlosser is confident that he will. The Reds' main striker Mohamed Sana is 32 years old, and rumor has it that Kubo is interested in leaving active duty, and is expected to be Sana's successor.
It is estimated that Kubo Kenyoung's contract was destroyed for 60 million euros, while Liverpool is expected to pay only 40 to 50 million euros to bring him into the fold.
