Takumi Minamino has renewed his contract with AS Monaco.
Monaco officially announced on the club's website on the 4th (Korea time) that "We are delighted to extend Minamino's contract for another season. Minamino is now under contract with Monaco until June 2027."
Minamino is one of Japan's leading stars. Having displayed his potential with Cerezo Osaka, Minamino made it to Europe when he joined Salzburg in 2015. In the first season, he completed his adaptation by scoring three goals and three assists in 17 official matches, and in the following season, he played in 32 matches in the league, scoring 10 goals and four assists, spearheading a successful leap forward. During this period, he worked well with Elling Holland and Hwang Hee-chan, and led his team's advance as an ace.
He even made it to the Premier League. After living in Salzburg for six seasons, his next destination was Liverpool. He played for Liverpool from the 2019-20 season, but had a rough time. Back then, Liverpool was led by a menacing squad of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane, and did not receive many opportunities with Diogo Jota and Luis Díaz joining as well.
He has not achieved much of a turnaround in the three seasons. After joining the club in the winter of the 2019-20 season, he only scored 0 goals and 0 assists in 10 league games, and in the 2020-21 season, he had only one goal in nine league games. He went to Southampton on loan to rebound, but nothing changed. He played in 11 league games in the 2021-22 season and scored three goals. He gained trust from Jurgen Klopp, but he ended up seeking a transfer.
He headed to Ligue 1 in France during the 2022-23 season. After joining Monaco for 15 million euros, he needed time to adjust to the situation in the beginning. He left behind one goal and three assists in 18 league matches, but after reuniting with Adi Whiter, who was coached by Salzburg in the 2023-24 season, Minamino has emerged as an ace by scoring nine goals and six assists in 31 official matches. 바카라
He is constantly maintaining his physical condition this season as well. He played in 33 matches, including the Cup championship, and has six goals and five assists. Recently, he achieved his fifth career goal in the UEFA Champions League, surpassing Shinji Kagawa, a Japanese senior, to become the top scorer in the history of the Champions League. Monaco offered Minamino a renewal of contract. Minamino accepted the offer, and he is set to continue his career at Monaco.
