Liverpool have tabled a new contract offer for Roberto Firmino as negotiations between club and player intensify, according to Football Insider .
Firmino's current contract with the Reds runs out at the end of the season, with speculation that the forward may call time on a glittering eight year spell on Merseyside. Last summer saw the £64million arrival of Darwin Nunez from Benfica, with the 23-year-old seen as the obvious successor to lead Liverpool's line for years to come and Firmino expected to take on a less central role.
But an impressive start to the new season has led to calls for a new contract. Seven Premier League goals places him as the club's most prolific in the league this season, and a period of six goals in five games carried the club through a rough mid-season patch while Nunez was suspended and then re-introduced with caution.
