Kubo gets his wish as Real Madrid wonderkid joins Getafe on loan after unhappy Villarreal spell

Takefusa Kubo has seen his wish granted after having his unhappy loan spell at Villarreal cut short, with Real Madrid terminating that agreement and sending the Japan international out to Getafe.

The highly-rated 19-year-old first headed out of Santiago Bernabeu ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. The intention was for him to spend the entire season at El Madrigal.

Kubo had previously been allowed to link up with Real Mallorca, with his parent club eager to get regular game time into him after a high-profile switch to Europe.
