Take out Takumi Minamino and it’s almost impossible to imagine Liverpool winning the League Cup and FA Cup last season, as was the importance of the Japanese international in the Reds to reach the final of the two national cups of England.
However, with the 27-year-old below the hierarchical order in the Liverpool attack and unlikely to raise his level in the 2022-23 season if he stays at Anfield, Minamino has always been expected continue this summer in search of more playing time.
Now the talk in the land of rumors makes him decide his next destination. According to The Mirror and others today, the player has considered offers from Monaco, Lyon, Atalanta, Wolverhampton and Fulham and has chosen Monaco.
For its part, with several clubs showing great interest in the player, Liverpool expect to earn around £ 17 million from their sale after signing him from RB Leipzig in January 2020 by activating what was widely considered a £ 7.25 million exclusion clause.
In his two-and-a-half years in England, Minamino played a total of 55 appearances for the Reds, including ten goals in 24 appearances in 2021-22. He also made ten more appearances while on loan at Southampton for the second half of the 2020-21 season.
