The teenage midfielder is determined to prove he has what it takes to succeed at one of the biggest clubs in world football
Takefusa Kubo has expressed his desire to be a part of Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid squad next season, insisting he will "keep on working" to earn himself a spot in the team.
Kubo spent four years with Barcelona as a youngster, rising through the ranks at the club's famed La Masia academy, but he was forced to leave in 2015 after Barca were found guilty of violating FIFA’s international transfer policy for under-18 players, before he made his way back to Spain four years later after a spell at FC Tokyo.
