The Japanese midfielder will play for RM Castilla next season and earn €1m per season

Real Madrid have officially confirmed the signing of Takefusa Kubo from the Japanese side FC Tokyo.

The midfielder will spend next season with RM Castilla as he continues his development in Europe. The recently turned 18-year-old has already made his full debut for Japan and will be part of their squad for the Copa America 2019.

The Asian sensation joins from J-League team FC Tokyo, where he played 16 matches and scored 5 goals.

'Take' is more commonly known as being one of the star students at La Masia who was released following a FIFA investigation into the illegal signing of youngsters. Barça were interested in bringing him back to the club but they refused to match the lofty terms demanded by the player's entourage nor guarantees about his future involvement with the first team.
