Roberto Firmino 'agrees Barcelona transfer' as Liverpool contract set to end

Roberto Firmino has agreed a deal to sign for Barcelona this summer after turning down the chance to stay with Liverpool, it's been claimed.

The Brazilian forward, 31, is confirmed to be leaving Anfield when his contract expires in June. Firmino had been offered a new deal with the Reds but opted not to extend his eight-year stay on Merseyside, having struggled for consistent game time over the past two seasons.

Now Barcelona are said to have won the race for his signature, with the Mail reporting that the former Hoffenheim star will join Xavi's side. Barca, who're enduring well-documented financial troubles, are on course to win their first LaLiga title since 2018 and want to strengthen their attack without breaking the bank, as Robert Lewandowski is currently their only recognised striker.
