It's the end of an era: Roberto Firmino is leaving Liverpool.
The Brazilian forward has decided not to extend his contract with the Reds and will walk away from Anfield at the end of this season. Firmino, 31, was in talks over a new deal at the club but now wants to pursue a fresh challenge, according to the Liverpool Echo.
As the end of his eighth campaign on Merseyside nears, the Premier League and Champions League winner is believed to have personally informed Jurgen Klopp of his decision after training on Friday ahead of a crucial match at home to Manchester United. Although Firmino was signed by ex-Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers for £29million from German side Hoffenheim in 2015, the Brazil international has been instrumental in Klopp's tenure and helped the Reds return to the top of world football.
