Roberto Firmino is in the final stretch of his contract with Liverpool and has already announced that he will not remain at the club for next season; Corinthians would be an option
The possibility of Roberto Firmino reinforce the Corinthians nothing more than a rumour, but Rivaldo insisted on warning the forward Liverpool. In the final stretch of his contract with the English club, the Brazilian has already announced that he will play for another team next season and many point to Timão as a possibility for the star. However, the five-time world champion took advantage of the speculation to give the athlete some advice.
In an interview with “Betfair”, the former player cited the example of Willian, who did not stay in Brazil for a year and returned to Europe after the strong pressure he suffered on his return to Corinthians. According to Rivaldo, Roberto Firmino needs to understand exactly what he is going to do with his career, especially if he is going to return to Brazilian football.
“We recently had the example of midfielder Willian, who arrived at a team as big as Timão and was unable to do his best, because if the results and good performances do not appear here in Brazil, the pressure will be enormous, something that Firmino no longer is more used in Europe”, said the former athlete of the Brazilian National Team.
“At a time when he lost his place in the team after eight successful years in which he won the Champions League and the Premier League, it is normal that he is looking for a new challenge after leaving a great legacy at Liverpool. He has already confessed to being a Corinthians fan and many fans are already dreaming of his arrival. However, at the age of 31, I think he should look very carefully at whether he wants to return to Brazilian football or stay a few more years in Europe.“, he completed.
Roberto Firmino, who is now a reserve on Jurgen Klopp’s team, has 27 appearances this season, and, even with the low number of games, has 10 goals and four assists. The Brazilian has lost space since the arrival of Darwin Nuñez, who was hired to take the center forward position in the 2022/23 round.
