Japanese star minamino signs for liverpool
Exciting news!
Takumi Minamino, a Japanese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger, has indeed signed for Liverpool FC!
On January 21, 2020, Liverpool announced that they had reached an agreement with Red Bull Salzburg to sign Minamino for a reported fee of around £7.25 million (€8.5 million). The transfer was completed on January 24, 2020, with Minamino signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Reds.
Minamino, who was born on January 16, 1995, in Yasu, Shiga, Japan, began his professional career with Cerezo Osaka in 2015. He then moved to Red Bull Salzburg in 2015, where he established himself as a key player, helping the team win two Austrian Bundesliga titles and the Austrian Cup.
At Liverpool, Minamino will join a talented squad that is looking to build on their success in the 2018-19 season, when they won the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup. He will likely compete with other attacking midfielders like Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino for a starting spot.
The signing of Minamino is seen as a shrewd move by Liverpool, as he brings a unique set of skills to the team, including his pace, agility, and goal-scoring ability. He is also a versatile player who can play on either wing or as a central attacking midfielder.
Fans are excited to see Minamino in action for Liverpool, and he is expected to make his debut for the team in the coming weeks.
