Roberto Firmino transfer latest: Saudi Arabia 'agreement', medical booked, three-year contract

Liverpool icon Roberto Firmino will officially become a free agent in a matter of days when his contract at Anfield comes to an end after eight years.

It was confirmed before the end of the season that the flamboyant Brazilian would not put pen to paper on improved terms with the Reds as he eyes new opportunities. Jurgen Klopp wanted to keep the forward within the ranks but was left "surprised" when the former TSG Hoffenheim forward expressed his desire not to extend.

Firmino will depart Liverpool leaving a legacy behind him spanning almost a decade after netting 11 goals in 362 appearances. He was a key member of the sides that won six major trophies including the Premier League and Champions League as he netted the winning goal in the Club World Cup final against Flamengo.
