Jurgen Klopp holds talks with Roberto Firmino over his future after Cody Gakpo signing

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool are currently in talks with Roberto Firmino over his future - but admitted the signing of Cody Gakpo has "no impact" on the club's decision.

The Reds announced the arrival of the Netherlands international on Wednesday after they hijacked Manchester United's pursuit of the 23-year-old. Gakpo is set to pen a long-term deal at Anfield in a deal worth around £45million after scoring three goals in five appearances for his country at the World Cup.

The arrival of Gakpo has raised question marks over Firmino's future, however, with the 31-year-old out of contract next summer. Liverpool now have six senior recognised attackers in the squad with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Gakpo and Firmino making up their forward department.
