Monaco coach Philipp Klement has confirmed that the club has signed with Liverpool striker Takumi Minamino.

Last week, Sportsmail revealed that the club had agreed to a contract with Japan International. It consists of an additional £ 2.6 million add-ons in addition to an initial cost of £ 12.9 million.

The club hadn't officially announced the transfer yet, but Clement did both jobs when he spoke on Saturday as a bystander in a friendly match against Cercle Brugge in Monaco.

I'm very happy. I've known him for a long time," Clement told RMC Sports.

He was at the top of our list. Everyone here believes that they have the qualities to bring something to the team.

He has done a lot of good things in Salzburg in a style similar to ours, like Liverpool, which is already experienced and has a lot of competition, so this is an opportunity.


Minamino joined Liverpool from RB Salzburg for £ 7.25 million in January 2020, but was unable to establish himself as the first team player at the forefront of a fierce battle.

Sadio Mané moved to Bayern Munich, but Liverpool signed with Diogo Jota, then Luis Diaz, and now Darwin Núñez since the arrival of Minamino, keeping the 27-year-old player down in pecking. rice field.

During the two and a half years Minamino was in Liverpool, he played 53 times in all tournaments, including 11 Premier League games in 2021/22, scoring three goals.

Writing on the Merseyside seemed to hang on the wall as he played 10 games before returning to Anfield with a half-season loan in Southampton in the 2020/21 season.

With Japan participating in the World Cup in November, Nanno was looking for a new home to play first-team soccer on a regular basis ahead of the tournament.

Winger played 55 games in the Reds' career and scored 14 goals.
