Roberto Firmino is engaged in contract talks with Liverpool as the club wants to keep the player beyond this season.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool are progressing in contract talks with Roberto Firmino and the Brazilian is expected to commit his future to the club.
Firmino has presented himself in a new fashion as the striker has proven his worth again and again this season. The 31-year-old has been the most consistent forward for Jurgen Klopp as he has already been involved in 13 goal contributions in all competitions.
Despite his excellent form he was surprisingly snubbed from the World Cup squad of Brazil. But the player will be rewarded with fresh new terms to extend his association.
The Brazilian striker arrived from Hoffenheim in 2015 and has been a key part of the squad. It was suggested that the player could leave the club after his current contract expires as the club would not be offering him an extension.
But he has defied all the odds with his goal-scoring antics and now the Premier League giants are ready to step it up as the player will be free to discuss a move with other clubs in January.
Jurgen Klopp also confirmed the stakeholders are looking after Firmino’s contractual situation but he will unlikely be offered a long-term contract. The Reds will take up their time in the upcoming World Cup break to sort out all the outstanding matters and Firmino’s new contract should be finalized prior to the winter transfer window.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg also insisted the club is steadily progressing in talks with the entourage of the Brazilian forward.
“Been told that talks about a new contract beyond 2023 are progressing very well. But no final steps at this stage. Player can really imagine to extend. Relation with Klopp should be perfect.”
Jurgen Klopp will be using the World Cup beak to put his players through paces as the Reds are planning a long camp in Dubai. The break could recharge their batteries and players like Roberto Firmino could be ready for a more fierce battle on the pitch.
