'The plan is this' - Roberto Firmino agent explains next step after Liverpool exit decision

Roberto Firmino's agent has hinted when the Brazilian will make a decision about his future after the forward decided against signing a new contract with Liverpool.

The 31-year-old will leave the Reds when his current deal expires this summer, having won every major honour going since moving to Anfield in 2015, and informed Jurgen Klopp of his decision last week. However, despite being free to talk to overseas clubs about a pre-contract agreement since January, Firmino is yet to decide his next move.

Expected to be the subject of plenty of interest, the Brazilian's agent, Roger Wittmann, has suggested he has already received offers. However, he has confirmed that the forward remains focused on helping Liverpool qualify for the Champions League, and won't make a decision until that quest is determined one way or the other.

"At the moment, I am not talking about the options on the table," Wittmann told Calciomercato, cited by Inside Futbol.

"Roberto is 100 per cent focused on completing the season and helping Liverpool in their race to qualify for the Champions League.

"The plan is this. Once the club achieve their goals, Roberto and his family will start thinking about what and where the next challenge could be."

Firmino was on the scoresheet in Liverpool's last match, coming off the bench to score their final goal in their 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United in what was his first Reds appearance since deciding to leave the club.
