The fee is understood to be an initial £12.9m (€15m) and a further £2.6m (€3m) in add ons.

Minamino arrived from Red Bull Salzburg in 2020 and has featured 55 times for Liverpool, scoring 14 times.

Liverpool begin the 2022/2023 Premier League season against newly promoted Fulham on Saturday August 6.
