Sevilla 'keen on summer deal for Takumi Minamino'

Sevilla are reportedly keen on signing Liverpool attacker Takumi Minamino this summer.

The 26-year-old joined the Reds from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020 but has been unable to make his mark for the English champions, scoring just four times in 31 appearances in all competitions.

A lack of regular action saw the Japan international join Southampton on loan for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign, and he scored on his debut for the Saints against Newcastle United at the start of February.

As it stands, Minamino is due to return to Jurgen Klopp's side this summer, but according to Fichajes, Sevilla want to sign him on a permanent deal ahead of the 2021-22 season.

The report claims that Liverpool are open to selling the former Cerezo Osaka youngster in the upcoming market due to his struggles since arriving at Anfield.

Minamino has a contract with his Merseyside club until the summer of 2024.
