Japan attacker Takefusa Kubo is closing in on a move to Real Sociedad from Real Madrid, Spanish newspaper Marca reported on its website on Friday.
The report quoted Notices de Gipuzkoa, a paper from San Sebastian, the northern city where Sociedad is located, that the two Spanish sides are nearing a deal as both parties apparently agreed on terms.
Real Madrid initially wanted to loan out Kubo but Real Sociedad rejected that offer and seek to sign the 21-year-old dynamo on a five-year contract, the report said.
Real Sociedad came sixth in La Liga last term and will play in the Europa League this upcoming season.
Kubo, who joined Real Madrid from FC Tokyo in the summer of 2019, has been loaned out every season since.
