Roberto Firmino ‘tells Liverpool and boss Jurgen Klopp he’s leaving in summer’ with striker available on free transfer
ROBERTO FIRMINO is set to leave Liverpool this summer, reports claim.
Sky in Germany are reporting that the Brazilian forward has informed Jurgen Klopp that he wants to leave the club.
It’s claimed Firmino had a “good talk” with Anfield gaffer Klopp on Friday.
The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has reportedly decided to move on to pastures new.
He will depart after eight years at the club.
Reports earlier this year claimed Firmino was in talks with Liverpool over a new deal.
But it is now claimed he will leave Liverpool in the summer as a free agent.
Firmino has won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup and Uefa Super Cup during his time at Anfield.
He joined the club from German side Hoffenheim for £29million in the summer of 2015.
In total he has scored 107 goals and provided 78 assists in 352 games for the Reds.

Alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, Firmino was part of Klopp’s fearsome front three that helped the Reds to so much success in recent years.
And despite the recent arrivals of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo in his position, Firmino still has seven goals in 16 Prem outings this season.
