Roberto Firmino next club rumours as Liverpool coach tipped to help 'operation'

Roberto Firmino will not be forgotten in a hurry among Liverpool fans, that's for sure.

The Brazilian forward will leave the club this summer after eight extraordinary years at Anfield, which has seen the 31-year-old help end the Reds' 30-year wait for the top-flight crown as well as clinching a sixth European Cup.

Firmino will exit as a free agent and is not likely to be short of offers as he plans the next step of his career. Remaining in the Premier League appears unlikely, so where could the skilful attacker end up?

A report by Turkish outlet Fanatik has claimed league leaders Galatasaray are keen on recruiting Firmino and are 'working hard' on putting a deal together. The article states club officials will travel to England 'in the coming days' to enter talks with the ex-Hoffenheim man over his future.

Fanatik add Galatasaray are hoping Liverpool goalkeeping coach Claudio Taffarel can also play a key role in negotiations by attempting to 'persuade' the Reds' No.9 to sign for the Turkish giants. Taffarel spent three years of his playing career at Galatasaray and is being utilised to support the 'Firmino operation' of his former employers.

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, list Inter Milan as a possible destination for Liverpool's outgoing attacker, with the Serie A giants said to be among those who wish to offer Firmino a 'new home for regular starts'.
