Jurgen Klopp decision may damage hopes of repeating "special" Liverpool achievement

Takumi Minamino's two-and-a-half year stay at Liverpool came to an end on Tuesday afternoon after he agreed to join Monaco on a permanent deal.

The Reds confirmed that the Japanese international has made the switch to the Ligue 1 side with the transfer believed to be in the region of £15million. He is the second player to depart the Reds this summer for a fee after Sadio Mane signed for Bayern Munich, while Divock Origi, Ben Woodburn and Loris Karius all left at the end their contracts.

Minamino joined Liverpool from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020 after the club activated the £7.25m release clause in his contract, making him the first Japanese player to play for the club. He would go on to score 14 times in 54 appearances for the Reds before his move to Monaco was announced.
