Jurgen Klopp has confessed he was surprised to learn that Roberto Firmino has decided to leave Liverpool this summer.
Firmino, 31, will depart the Reds at the end of his contract in June after a successful eight-year spell on Merseyside. The announcement was made last Friday, two days before Liverpool's clash against Manchester United.
The Brazilian fittingly marked the occasion by scoring the Reds' final goal as they thrashed arch rivals United 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday evening. Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez struck a brace each.
