Jurgen Klopp wants Roberto Firmino to remain at Liverpool beyond the end of this season, despite the Reds confirming the capture of Cody Gakpo this week.
Brazilian Firmino will be out of contract at the end of the current campaign after a stellar eight-year stint at Anfield during which he has won almost every major honour on offer to him.
But the arrival of Dutch forward Gakpo will see competition for attacking places intensify even further as Liverpool's number nine contests for a place in the forward line alongside Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.
