Roberto Firmino’s future remains unresolved as Liverpool head into the 2022/23 season. The Brazilian, who was limited to just 10 Premier League starts during an injury-plagued 2021-22 campaign, is out of contract next summer.
Having seen Mohamed Salah sign a new three-year deal earlier this month, club bosses are now reportedly working on fresh contracts for Naby Keita and Diogo Jota, with it remaining to be seen if Firmino will be offered his own extended terms or depart on a Bosman transfer next summer. Either way, he is currently the only forward not with a long-term deal at Anfield beyond the end of the season.
As a result of his limited game-time last season, having dropped down the pecking order as a result, and with the World Cup coming up in Qatar this winter, Firmino has inevitably been linked with a move away from Liverpool as a result. Reports earlier this summer suggested Juventus wanted him to replace the outgoing Paulo Dybala, while it’s even been claimed this week that the Reds want to sign Martin Terrier from Rennes and are willing to offload their No.9 to make room for him.
