# Liverpool: Fans react to Takumi Minamino transfer stance

**Liverpool’s Takumi Minamino is ‘desperate’ to stay at Anfield beyond the January transfer deadline, as per Goal’s [Neil Jones](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1488059965252280321).**

Minamino’s prospects in L4 may have taken a further hit with the signing of [£37m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12527169/luis-diaz-liverpool-sign-porto-winger-on-five-and-a-half-year-deal-for-initial-fee-of-37m) attacker Luis Diaz from FC Porto. The Japanese forward is [yet to start a Premier League game this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/takumi-minamino/leistungsdaten/spieler/165793), and now he faces more big-money competition.

Reports after Diaz’s arrival suggested that Liverpool [would listen to offers](https://theathletic.com/news/liverpool-to-consider-permanent-offers-for-divock-origi-and-takumi-minamino/xBkxhBCWmkYm/) for Minamino and Divock Origi in the final days of the window.

However, the former seems to have no interest in moving elsewhere, and Jones [wrote on his Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/neiljonesgoal/posts/499962484818946) that the Reds have rebuffed ‘initial interest’ from AS Monaco and Leeds United in any case.

Minamino has played a key role in Liverpool’s run to the final of the Carabao Cup, scoring [four goals in their five matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/takumi-minamino/leistungsdaten/spieler/165793) in the competition, including a late equaliser to force a penalty shoot-out against Leicester City in the quarter-finals.

Fan feed [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1488059965252280321) relayed Jones’ claim, and here’s how these Reds supporters reacted.
