Kubo, loaned to Villarreal

In the absence of it being made official (the announcement could be today or tomorrow, sources of the negotiation explain to this newspaper), Real Madrid and Villarreal have reached an agreement on Wednesday for the transfer of Take Kubo (19 years old), as AS has learned. The Castellón club was the best positioned and in recent days it had taken advantage over the other main candidates, Granada, Celta and Osasuna, and finally they will be able to claim victory. On Tuesday, the parties began a negotiation that they hoped would be final, as has happened. This Wednesday the fringes will be finished off.

The deal it is for a season and with no purchase option, the only stage that both Madrid and Kubo contemplated. In fact, the white club, delighted with the growth of the Japanese in Mallorca despite the difficulties and the decline of the team, He has reserved for Japan for 2021-2022 the place of extra-community that Vinicius must release during 2020-21. Villarreal will pay the footballer's salary and pay between 2 and 3 million, which will mean a total outlay of around 5 million.

The project of the Castellón entity was gathering strength due to the great interest of Unai Emery, his new coach at Kubo. The player has always prioritized a destination in Spain that would allow him to play 40 games the following year, for which he considered elementary the importance that it would have for his coach. That is why it has been decisive that a professional such as the Basque coach, with three editions of the Europa League in his record, he has insisted on La Cerámica and the footballer's environment about his desire to lead this campaign.

Along with that of Granada, the possibility of Submarino was also preferred by Madrid for the fact that they will play European competition. The Nasrid project generated some doubt because far from it are discarded exits such as goalkeeper Rui Silva or striker Carlos Fernández, vital for his impressive career in 2019-20. After more than 20 proposals, including Bayern's at the last minute, Villarreal will be the one to enjoy a pearl in which Concha Espina has many hopes.
