BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Anfield, Liverpool are reportedly ready to make a move for a £50m rated winger who has been likened to Lionel Messi. The transfer window may have ended a few weeks ago, but for Liverpool’s sporting director and the rest of the club’s recruitment team their work is never ending as they agree personal terms with Japanese international. According to Reports, Liverpool are ready to pay the Japanese international’s €60m release clause, which roughly translates to £50m. He Said, “Kubo is very focused, very professional and we want him part of our project. We are preparing for the future already”. Pre agreement done, Liverpool to sign ‘superstar’ £50m winger likened to Lionel Messi in January.

Liverpool is reportedly gearing up to pursue a highly-rated winger valued at £50 million, who has drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi. Despite the recent closure of the transfer window, Liverpool’s recruitment team, led by sporting director Jörg Schmadtke, remains active as they prepare for both the January and summer transfer periods. The club is compiling a list of potential targets while also assessing the futures of key players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool is particularly focused on strengthening their right-wing depth. Although Federico Chiesa, who was signed from Juventus, is capable of playing on the right, his preference is for the left side. With uncertainty surrounding Salah’s future, Liverpool is exploring alternatives, including Japanese international Takefusa Kubo. According to *Strike90mins* in Spain, Liverpool is ready to trigger Kubo’s €60 million release clause, which is roughly £50 million.

Takefusa Kubo, often referred to as the “Japanese Lionel Messi” by *koolmedia*, has received high praise since his youth. Former Mallorca CEO Maheta Molango highlighted Kubo’s professionalism and credited his family for instilling humility and a strong work ethic, which Molango believes will propel Kubo to football stardom.

Rumors of Kubo’s potential move to Liverpool have been fueled by recent remarks from Wataru Endo, a current Liverpool player and fellow Japanese international. Endo hinted at Liverpool’s growing interest in Japanese players, noting that the perception of Japanese talent in England is improving. He mentioned that Liverpool staff had been inquiring about Japanese players, indicating increased interest in talent from the country.

Liverpool’s attention to Japanese players aligns with a broader strategy. The club made history by signing Takumi Minamino, their first Japanese player, and later added Endo. Additionally, Liverpool bolstered their ties with Japan through a partnership with leading Japanese media company Kodansha in 2021, shortly after Minamino’s arrival.

Bringing in Takefusa Kubo would not only fulfill Liverpool’s on-field requirements but also support their off-field strategy. Kubo’s skills and marketability in Japan make him an attractive prospect for the Reds as they aim to strengthen their squad and broaden their global reach.
