OFFICIAL: Liverpool loses one of their options up front
The Anfield side will be one man short next season, as they lose one of their most polyfacetic players
It has been rumoured for a few weeks, and now its finally official. Jurgen Klopp won't be able to count on one of his most polyfacetic players next season, as Takumi Minamino will be departing Anfield.
Takumi Minamino celebrated many titles with Liverpool, but was looking for more minutes
The Japanese forward was bought from Red Bull Salzburg in December 2019 for 8.5 million euros, to add depth to the Liverpool front line. He struggled to break into the first team, having the likes of Sadio Mané and Mohammed Salah in front, but quickly settled on a role as a adaptable rotation option.
However, the one thing all footballers want is minutes, and that's exactly what he'll be getting as he's moving to AS Monaco, where he'll have a more preeminent role in the squad, having fallen off with the additons of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz to the Liverpool squad.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the transfer will be done for 15 million euros, with a further 3 million in addons. Minamino has already been announced by the AS Monaco social media accounts.
