Liverpool ‘consider cashing in on Roberto Firmino after Juventus make £20m transfer bid for striker’

LIVERPOOL have rejected a £20million offer from Juventus for forward Roberto Firmino.

However, the Serie A giants are planning to return with another bid for the 30-year-old.

TuttoJuve claim an agreement could be reached soon as Juve prepare to up the ante.

Liverpool swiftly rejected the initial bid for the Brazilian but may consider cashing in should they receive the right offer.

The Old Lady are looking to replace Paulo Dybala after he joined Roma on a free transfer.

Firmino is believed to be valued by the club at around £25m to £30m.

He is out of contract next summer so bosses will consider cashing in now. 

The Brazil international has been at Anfield for seven seasons, winning the Premier League and Champions League titles.

Lovingly known as ‘Bobby’, he has made 327 appearances, scoring 98 goals and notching 74 assists.

Long time team-mate Sadio Mane left the Anfield front line this window in a £35m deal.

However, the Reds have brought in highly-rated Darwin Nunez and young star Fabio Calvalho.

Nunez came off the bench last week to score FOUR times as Liverpool hammered RB Leipzig 5-0 in a pre-season friendly.

Nunez received a much-needed confidence boost with his four goals after facing ridicule from fans for his point-blank miss against Manchester United.

Footage emerged of the Uruguayan misfiring in training too – but he seems to have rediscovered his goalscoring touch.

That delighted Jurgen Klopp, who hailed a “perfect night” for Nunez after he shot down his doubters.
