Reports emerged today that Roberto Firmino has an alleged anti-Arsenal clause in his contract
Football Leaks, a controversial whistle-blowing website, who have previously published stories regarding footballers’ contracts and alleged tax evasion schemes, claim to have the details of Roberto Firmino’s Liverpool contract.
They have published said information, as well as the contract details of a number of other players, in conjunction with Belgian publication Le Soir.
The newspaper writes, in their section on Firmino:
‘Arsenal cannot buy him for [£83million]. Nor for any higher amount, moreover,’
Arsenal fans on Twitter mostly laughed off the clause :
Liverpool can relax. If Wenger had £80m+ to spend on one player, Firmino certainly wouldn’t make the list ???
