Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is set to leave Anfield in the summer when his current contract expires. The Brazilian has spent eight successful years with the Reds and has been free to speak to clubs about a pre-contract agreement outside of England since the start of 2023.
The Liverpool Echo understand that Firmino has now decided to seek a fresh challenge and will walk away after a decorated spell that has seen him win seven trophies that include every top-level trophy available to Liverpool. It is unclear yet as to where the Brazilian forward will be playing next season, but his choice to leave Anfield represents a perfect chance for one of Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham to sign him on a free transfer.
The 31-year-old has played more games than any other player under Jurgen Klopp in his 1000-game managerial career, playing over 350 matches for Liverpool, highlighting the importance of the Brazilian in the team. Firmino's ability to press from the front and link play in a false nine role could prove to be a crucial asset for any team and the three London clubs should be looking at making a move for him this summer.
