Real Madrid are trying to get Martin Odegaard back from his loan deal with Real Sociedad next season, and they could help Real Sociedad cover the one-year loss by providing them Takefusa Kubo.

Florentino Perez’s loan army has achieved a great deal of success in 2019-2020, but no player has stood out more than Martin Odegaard. Real Madrid will already get Achraf Hakimi back from Borussia Dortmund in 2020-2021 – no matter how much BVB want another year of Hakimi – and they are reportedly attempting to recall Odegaard in June.

Real Sociedad and Real Madrid agreed to a two-year loan deal for Odegaard, but the Norway international has impressed so much this season that he’s already of world-class quality. He would have a place as a regular for Los Blancos in 2020-2021.

If Madrid do recall Odegaard, they are reportedly prepared to give La Real a different loanee to replace Odegaard.

According to a report from Goal Japan, via Infinite Madrid on Twitter, it is “very likely” that Takefusa Kubo replaces Odegaard in the Real Sociedad starting lineup next season.

Kubo has done a solid job on loan at Real Mallorca, so Madrid is “happy” with his progression. But they also want the 18-year-old to play for a bigger club and take on more responsibility, which would be the case as a starting attacking midfielder for La Real.

Madrid and Sociedad have a strong relationship with each other, and Sociedad are seemingly understanding of Los Blancos’ potential decision to terminate the loan early. By providing Sociedad with another talented prospect, Madrid are helping to maintain a positive relationship between both La Liga clubs.

Kubo’s dribbling ability is a sight to behold, and he scored one great goal this season already. It isn’t easy to impress at Real Mallorca, but Kubo could take another key step in his development at Sociedad next season if a different loan deal materializes.

Again, the future is extremely bright for Real Madrid with the likes of Hakimi, Odegaard, and Kubo making waves.
