Liverpool: Takumi Minamino of Red Bull Salzburg in Jurgen Klopp's sights
Last updated on .From the section Liverpool
Liverpool are planning to make a move for Red Bull Salzburg winger Takumi Minamino in January.
Minamino, who is believed to have a release clause of £7.25m, played in both his side's Champions League group games against the Reds this season.
The Japan international has scored nine goals in 22 appearances for Salzburg this season and provided 11 assists.
Red Bull Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed talks between the two clubs are taking place.
One of Minamino's two Champions League goals this season came in Salzburg's 4-3 group stage defeat by Jurgen Klopp's side at Anfield in October.
In the return on Tuesday, the Austrian side lost 2-0 but Minamino was a constant threat in the first half and Liverpool are keen to do a deal as they believe he is worth more than treble his release clause.
Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of the 24-year-old because interest in the Japan forward is increasing.
Despite playing against Liverpool in this season's Champions League, the forward would be eligible to play for the holders in the competition if he does move following a rule change by Uefa last year.

Trent - academy
Gomez - 3.5 million
Matip - free
Robertson - 8 million
Milner - free
Henderson - 20 million
Wijnaldum - 25 million
Minamimo - 7.25 million
Shaqiri - 13 million
Origi - 10 million
That's teams better than Man United and it cost less than Pogba!
Liverpool: Haaland's scoring lots of goals...wonder why...it's this guy making loads of chances for him...sign him up.
And there lies the difference between the clubs recruitment at the moment.
Aaaand a chance to push the Liverpool brand in the Japanese market.
Who'd want to go from living in Salzburg to living in Liverpool?

Particularly lacking in knowledge...
Both Keita and Mane are ex-RBS, so that's at least 2.
Mane - 30m (bargain)
Wijnaldum - 25m (bargain)
Salah - 34m (bargain)
Robertson - 8m (bargain)
Ox - 35m (decent business)
Van dijk - 75m (bargain)
Keita - 48m (suffered injuries but stating to come good)
Fabinho - 40m (bargain)
Shaqiri - 13m (bargain)
Alisson - 67m (bargain)
I'd say I trust Klopp in the transfer market
Bargain and that price and will only get better 😊🚩🚩
The present and futures bright 😊
Could well be Lallana's replacement in the long run, so plenty to like if they pull this off.
@8 Brewster hasn't taken his chances yet & there's a good chance he'll be loaned out soon. Still a wicked prospect, so time & patience needed on that one
Manchester United fan here btw "

Like selling a player for £800k and then buying him back for £90,000,000 ?
Only for him to undermine your manager and players and then sit out the season on the bench "injured" because he can't stand your club ?
Hmmm....
Combined Manchester clubs a net spend of 913 million pounds net spend, nearly 1 billion pounds net spend😂😂😂😂.
Liverpool net spend of 18 million pounds since 2014 is pure world class and im proud of being fan of such a beautifull club❤❤❤❤.
One word for you my friend:

3: Well Salzburg can always say 'no' if they want.
No they can't, that's what a release clause is
Take a look at your own place of residence first before you find fault with others!
Since 2014 Liverpool have spent 443 million pounds on players but sold players for 425 million pounds so PBeckett is absoletely rigth without breaking the bank, because Liverpool have a net spend of 18 million pounds since 2014.
You beautifully mentioned the players Liverpool bougth but forgot the most important part that Liverpool sold Suarez, Sterling and Coutino and got a lot money😉👍.
United buy Lucy Shaw for £30m, now that's a waste of money!
you would wonder which was a £8m player

If you're a Man United fan, why do you have an LFC handle? I know, you're attention seeking. Get back to class
