Liverpool have backtracked on their stance in relation to forward Roberto Firmino and are now expected to offer the Brazilian a new deal after his stellar start to the season.
It was only in the summer when reports were rife that boss Jurgen Klopp was mulling over the idea of cashing in on the current Reds longest-servant, but things can change quickly in football. Four months ago, Liverpool were keen on signing Rennes forward Martin Terrier and it seemed as if Firmino would be the player within the Reds ranks to make way.
The summer was a huge time of change for the attacking line-up under Klopp, with club legend Sadio Mane departing for Bayern Munich, cult hero Divock Origi upping sticks to AC Milan and marquee signing Darwin Nunez coming in from Benfica for a whopping £85.5million including add-ons.
