The Japan international is set to join the club on January 1, 2020 after an agreement was reached with Red Bull Salzburg and the 24-year-old completed a medical and penned a long-term contract at Melwood.
And the new man’s number has been confirmed, with a range of special products now available via LFC Retail to mark the signing, including ‘Minamino – 18’ jerseys.
The No.18 was vacated by Alberto Moreno last summer and has also been worn by the likes of Dirk Kuyt and John Arne Riise for the Reds in recent years.
