Emery confirms Kubo close to exit

The Villarreal manager, Unai Emery, confirmed on Saturday in the press conference that the Japanese player Take Kubo "is looking for an exit" from the club, who he is currently on loan at them from Real Madrid.

Emery hasn't used the Japanese player in the last three league matches against Osasuna, Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla, and on Saturday he wasn't even in the list of 21 players for the match against Levante at La Cerámica.

"I asked him if he wanted to stay or if he wanted to leave and he told me that he is looking for an exit", Emery reiterated, adding that from this answer his mind is set on footballers who are "involved" at Villarreal.

"Take's commitment is good, he has helped us and should continue to grow, but the player told me that he wants to go out to look for more minutes and that's why he wasn't on the squad list", the Villarreal manager concluded.
