Vector2.MoveTowards -- Move To Target Position and Some More - unity3d

Question

I almost created game but there is one thing which is hard for me. I want to move player to target and some more.
The red dot is the goal, but I want to move the player to the goal and a little further.
P.S
If the player goes to the right then I want him to reach the goal and a little further to the right
same to the left, top, bottom

Red dot is a target but i want player move to target and else more on the facing side (green dot)
i tried something like move forward but i dont have any idea.
void Start()
{
}
void Update()
{
target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").GetComponent<Transform>();
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, (speed * Time.deltaTime));
}
//Mob have "Player" TAG (Player is not a player) |Targeting is fine|

You could add an offset value
// ajdust this in the inspector
public float offset = 0.1f;
and than add it to the position in the direction from the player to the target. As Foggzie mentioned this might not be a copy-past-able code yet since there might occure some hickups. To atleast prevent that the player turn around after overshooting the target and move back and forth you could use a setter method to get the direction only once:
public float offset;
public float threshold = 0.0001f;
public float speed;
private GameObject target;
private Vector3 direction;
private Vector3 targetPosition;
public void SetTarget(GameObject newTarget)
{
target = newTarget;
// adding the offset in that direction
targetPosition = target.transform.position + direction * offset;
// direction from the player to the target
direction = (target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
}
private void Update()
{
if (!target) return;
// make Player overshoot the target by offset
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, (speed * Time.deltaTime));
// stop if target is reached
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetPosition) <= threshold)
{
target = null;
}
}
I don't know when and how you change the target so currently it doesn't limit the player movement to only X and Y like in your pictures ... but you would than do e.g.
// Note that 'transform' is a built-in property of 'GameObject' and you shouldn't use `GetComponent` for it
SetTarget(GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform);
