In a press conference before another appointment of the Liverpool for the Premier League, coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed the information that Roberto Firmino wants to leave the English club. Previously reported, now the commander admitted that he spoke with the Brazilian and he expressed his willingness to have new career challenges.
“Yes, he told me. Was I surprised? Yes, but just a little bit because it wasn’t a surprise hit, it’s actually something normal. Completely normal in the long relationships we have. There were two path options, and one was chosen. I respect a lot“, put Klopp in a press conference before the confrontation with the bournemouth.
At the club since 2015, Firmino won a lot of affection from the Reds fans, not least because of the great phase that the club went through in the period. In last weekend’s game, in which Liverpool thrashed Manchester United by 7-0, the attacker was applauded by the crowd, and scored the last goal of the historic victory.
“It’s something very special and I loved the reception he got against United. He told me that now he just wants to put a positive end to this wonderful story. Then that’s it. He’s completely here, fully committed. It’s all we need to know“, completed the German about the team’s number 9 shirt.
There was still time for Klopp to say that it is not a time for goodbyes, putting it to happen at the end of the season. With the future open, Firmino has already received surveys and demonstrations of interest. In speculation, the fans of the Corinthians got excited about the possibility of the player returning to Brazilian football wearing the club’s shirt.
