AS Monaco: Latest Updates on Takumi Minamino's Performance and Contract Status
Takumi Minamino, the Japanese footballer who has been making waves in the English Premier League with his impressive performances for Liverpool, is still contracted to the club until 2025. This means that he will be staying at Anfield for another two years.
Minamino has been a key player for Liverpool since joining from RB Salzburg in 2018. He has scored 26 goals and provided 14 assists in 99 appearances for the Reds, helping them win the UEFA Champions League twice and reach the final of the FIFA Club World Cup last year.
However, despite his success on the pitch, there have been reports suggesting that the 24-year-old may not be happy at Liverpool. It was reported earlier this month that Minamino had expressed his desire to leave Anfield in order to play in the Bundesliga, where he would be guaranteed more playing time.
This news sparked speculation about whether or not the Japanese international would remain at Liverpool beyond the end of his contract in June next year. However, Liverpool CEO Greg Clarke has reassured fans that Minamino is "absolutely committed" to the club and will continue to be part of their plans going forward.
In fact, Clarke went as far as to say that Minamino's performance for Japan at the recent FIFA World Cup was "a real credit to him and the club." The Japanese international was instrumental in his country's run to the quarter-finals, scoring three goals and providing one assist in five matches.
Overall, it seems that Minamino is set to stay at Liverpool for the foreseeable future. While there may be some uncertainty surrounding his future, the evidence suggests that he is still an important member of the team and will continue to be a valuable asset for the club in the coming seasons.
