Jurgen Klopp has branded Roberto Firmino as "the heart and soul" of his Liverpool team amid speculation linking the forward with a move to Juventus.
Reports in Italy have intensified this week with regards to Firmino with Juventus said to be stepping up their efforts to bring the Brazil international to Turin in a deal worth around £20m.
Firmino is inside the final 12 months of his Anfield contract and while there is no sign of an extension being penned, Liverpool have no intention of offloading the former Hoffenheim man this window, it is understood.
