# Klopp hints that Liverpool’s deal to sign Minamino is all but completed

Jurgen Klopp has hinted that a deal for Liverpool to sign Takumi Minamino is all but done.

The Japanese midfielder is reportedly on the brink of becoming a Red, with a January move mooted.

The 24-year-old impressed for Salzburg against Liverpool in the Champions League and will only cost £7.25 million.

Klopp is never one to talk about transfer business before deals are completed, but he may have given the game away this time.

[Speaking](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2019/12/jurgen-klopp-all-but-confirms-takumi-minamoto-liverpool-deal/) ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash at home to Watford on Saturday, the Reds manager responded to a Japanese reporter, saying:

> Why are you here? Maybe we will see you more often now.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Minamino will be an excellent signing for Liverpool, not only bringing guile and end product to the middle of the park, but also a strong work ethic.

He will add even more depth to a midfield that already possesses so much quality with the likes of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in it.

Klopp giving such an obvious hint surely suggests Minamino will be a Liverpool player by the time January 1st arrives.
