□ Takefusa Kubo Player Comment
"To all the fans and supporters of FC Tokyo, I have decided to transfer to Real Madrid. It was a difficult decision to leave the team in the middle of the season while they are in first place. However, since I have made this decision myself, I want to face soccer with responsibility and without regrets. Since I returned to Japan until now, there have been various things, but I have nothing but gratitude for everyone involved with FC Tokyo who has helped me grow. Thank you very much. I don't know what will happen in the future, and I have some anxieties, but I believe that what I have cultivated and the days I have walked in FC Tokyo will become my confidence and push me forward. From now on, I will no longer be Takefusa Kubo of FC Tokyo, but as a soccer player, I would be happy if you could warmly watch over me."
