🤔Take Kubo: switches agents, future up in the air
Kubo's words after the match against Athletic Club have set off alarm bells at Real Sociedad.
"My idea is to stay at Real and for the team to improve, but like the coach said, you never know."Let's remember that Imanol left the txuri-urdin after the last match of the season. Added to this is the fact that "Take" is said to have changed his representation agency for this transfer window because the lack of European competition affected his goals.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that there will be meetings about his future next week. However, the club is calm because his contract runs until 2029 with a release clause of 60 million euros.

Kubo linked to Atletico Madrid
Kubo linked to Atletico Madrid originally appeared on The Sporting News Diego Simeone's Colchoneros seem to be interested in bringing in a winger before their summer transfer window is done. Previously linked to Nicolas Gonzalez from Juventus, now Marca report that they are looking at Real Sociedad and Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo. Kubo is an exciting winger who has been known since his youth days in La Masia and La Fabrica as he was once dubbed "The Japanese Messi". It's clear that Atletico aren't done with their summer business and still feel a need for a winger and Kubo is a more exciting signing than Nicolas Gonzalez. He's electric with the ball at his feet and has seemed for a while like a player who's destined for a move to a bigger club. With Real Sociedad being on a decline, it's seeming like the right time for Kubo to find that big move away. Nicolas Gonzalez is the cheaper option that is likely more feasible, but this feels like a case of paying for the more expensive player seems worth it. Kubo brings more of something that Atletico are missing in a one-on-one dribbler. Atletico may be hesitant though as there have been links to Premier League teams and his release clause is set at 60 million euros. There is also the fact that Real Madrid have a 50% sell-on clause meaning they would be directly funding their bitter rivals. We will see which one Atletico bring in but it's been shown by this window that they are going all out this season.

Liverpool agree SIX-YEAR deal with centre-back
Liverpool have agreed a six-year deal with a centre-back. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the story. Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Giovanni Leoni from Parma. The 18-year-old is set to formally complete his move shortly. Fabrizio Romano has moved to confirm the story on Twitter, including the length of the contract. Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! "Giovanni Leoni has completed main part of his medical and signs his contract as new Liverpool player!' he wrote. "Exclusive detail in addition: contract will be valid until June 2031, six year deal at Liverpool "Official announcement to follow this week." Leoni has been a key target of Liverpool's over the last month or so, with a belief that he's an incredible talent. In fact, one insider told Anfield Watch that he's 'an absolute joke' of a player. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Liverpool agree Giovanni Leoni contract An amazing piece of business, then. Liverpool are in need of a new centre-back with Jarell Quansah having left the club without a replacement coming in. Well, here's the replacement. Leoni is one of those truly special talents, holding down a Serie A starting spot at just 18. Liverpool know that signing him now will also mean he becomes homegrown down the line - hence why a loan deal was not considered. Tying him down for six years right from the get-go also highlighting just how great the belief is in him. An exciting one, then, but possibly not the end of Liverpool's transfer business. Maybe not even the end of their business at centre-back. Marc Guehi is also very much on the agenda as the Reds think about signing him a year early. Guehi's contract expires in 2026. But that brings about Ibrahima Konate talk. Konate is also out of contract next year and Real Madrid are very interested. Liverpool want to renew his contract - but it's unclear how likely that truly is. Leoni, though, that one's certain. He's going to be a Red and we can't wait to see what he can do. **🔴 **Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🔴

'Remarkable' €50m transfer could be the unexpected highlight of Chelsea's summer
The most explosive news of last weekend came from nowhere when it was revealed by top sources like Fabrizio Romano that Joao Felix was going to Saudi Arabia to join Al Nassr for a huge fee. Until then there had been very little interest in Felix. His old team Benfica seemed to be the only ones interested, and they were ready to sit tight and low-ball us until the deadline. Then from nowhere, the Saudis came in with a huge bid. 'Remarkable' bid saves Chelsea's bacon in disaster transfer Joao Felix watches from the sidelines. (Photo by) They discussed this on the London is Blue podcast, trying to make sense of it all. 'He's going to Saudi Arabia. The immediate fee is going to be €30m with a heavy sell on clause and add ons… Chelsea feel they have a guaranteed fee of €50m minimum for Joao Felix,' Dan Dormer said. But as they also pointed out, the fact that it ended well for us doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake to bring Felix back in the first place: 'It's remarkable business. It's a move that had to be done for Chelsea. He obviously was not going to play for the club again. It was a terrible transfer, and it has now kind of been remedied,' was co-presenter Nick Verlaney's take. You can see their discussion in the clip embedded here: Felix affair feels like it's full of secrets This whole Felix affair has something fishy about it – from the loan that finished a year before we signed him, to the relation to the Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid sale, to the bizarrely large fee we're getting for him from Al Nassr. It feels like there's more going on than meets the eye – we just hope we get to find out more, one day.
