Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino has completed his move to Monaco after signing a four-year contract with the Ligue 1 club.
Minamino left Anfield for Ligue 1, after making a total of 55 appearances during his two-and-a-half-year stint as a Reds player, scoring 14 goals and providing three assists.
He quickly became an important and popular member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad after his departure from Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020.

The Japan international earned the Premier League winner’s medal in his first-half season at Merseyside, making 14 appearances in the historic and COVID-19-hit 2019-20 campaign.
“It is a great pleasure for me to join AS Monaco. I am delighted to be part of the project of the club, which has finished on the podium (third) twice in a row and is the most recognized in an exciting championship. Can’t wait to explore and do everything we can to help the team,” Minamino told AS Monaco’s official website.

He opened his goal-scoring account for Liverpool in the Community Shield against Arsenal at Wembley at the start of the 2020–21 season. He then made a brace against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup and registered an emphatic 7–0 victory in the Premier League for the first time at Crystal Palace.
The attacker spent the second half of that season on loan at Southampton, before returning to Anfield last summer to play a key role in the coming year.
Minamino helped the Reds to glory in both domestic cup competitions as they returned two trophies to L4 after playing every game available to them.
Leading up to the team, the 27-year-old scored four goals in five games in the Carabao Cup followed by three goals in four in the FA Cup.

Due to his quality and first-class attitude, Klopp once described Minamino as a ‘coach’s dream’, with the boss admitting that No 18 deserved many more starting berths.
