The Spanish club is adamant that Kubo will only leave if his buyout clause is paid in full, which is set at €60 million. This clause is a predetermined amount that must be paid to release Kubo from his contract.
Kubo's new management team has connections with the English Premier League, which could potentially lead to a move to a Premier League club.
If Kubo does leave Real Sociedad, the club will receive half of the transfer fee, as they previously acquired half of his rights for €6 million in 2022. Kubo's contract with Real Sociedad runs until 2029.
