Monaco would like to recruit Minamino, little used in Liverpool
Faced with big competition in Liverpool, Takumi Minamino could pack his bags this summer. According to Foot Mercato, Monaco would like to take advantage of this for the recruiter.
With the money mentioned by the sale of Aurélien Tchouaméni, Monaco has plenty to enjoy this summer. As indicated by RMC Sport, Real Madrid have paid 80 million euros to secure the services of the French midfielder (22 years old). Without forgetting 20 million euros of possible bonus. The bill is also inflated by a 19% tax which the White House must pay. This tax is claimed by the Spanish State, because Monaco is considered a tax haven. And it is moreover to amortize it that the contract of Tchouaméni covers a period of six years, and not five as expected.

English clubs desired
Concretely, the operation will therefore transfer more than 100 million euros to the Rocher club. A part could be used to finance the arrival of a Japanese international. According to information from foot market, the Monegasque leaders would like to bring Takumi Minamino from Liverpool. Arriving at the Reds in the winter of 2020 after revealing himself in Salzburg, the striker is now facing very strong competition and could look favorably on a start this summer. In 24 appearances this season in all competitions, he has scored ten goals and provided one assist.
His price would be set between 10 and 20 million euros, and Liverpool would be open to discussion with the clubs targeted by this lively and fast winger. From the top of his 27 years, he also displays an experience which could be useful to the group of Philippe Clément, in particular for the preliminary round of the Champions League. Beware, however, of the competition in this case. According to the Daily Mailthe player would also please Fulham, Leeds or Wolverhampton.
