AS have reported that PSG are desperate to sign Takefusa Kubo, who is currently impressing on loan at Real Mallorca in La Liga.
It’s even been suggested that PSG and Real Madrid have discussed the possibility of a transfer but there are two main issues – the player wasn’t that impressed with the offer and Real Madrid didn’t want to let him go.
