Roberto Firmino would be a very ‘Juventus’ signing. Firmino found himself linked with a move to the Old Lady on Thursday, with reports in Italy suggesting the Serie A giants could offer Liverpool Adrien Rabiot in a swap deal for the Brazilian
Juventus need a forward to replace Paulo Dybala while the Reds’ need for a new midfielder in the near future, with plans put on hold until the summer of 2023, is well known. With Firmino and Rabiot both out of contract in 2023, there we have it. The creation of this supposed swap deal. Both sides get what they’re after, everyone’s happy.
Or not. Such a notion is quite frankly lazy and absurd. Swap deals are pretty rare, and having already seen Sadio Mane , Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi depart this summer, Jurgen Klopp will have no desire to wave off another forward and, even if Liverpool
changed their midfield stance, Rabiot, who Juventus have wanted shot of for a number of seasons now, is not the answer. Rumour quashed.
