Roberto Firmino is refusing to enter talks with other clubs ahead of leaving Liverpool this summer – and that stance may complicate Chelsea ’s attempts to sign Joao Felix permanently.
Firmino has decided not to extend his contract with the Reds and will walk away from Anfield at the end of this season. The 31-year-old was in talks over a new deal at the club but will not extend his stay and instead pursue a new challenge.
The Brazilian forward established himself as a club icon at Anfield across his eight seasons at the club, with his attitude and selflessness in that time summed up by how he sacrificed a lucrative goal bonus in order to ensure his teammate scored a goal.
