Roberto Firmino is set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer this summer after deciding not to extend his highly successful Anfield career.

We played before against world-class offensive players and if you try to do that in a one-on-one situation you will be on the wrong end of it so we have to defend it collectively.” Firmino, however, has informed Klopp he will not be signing an extension and will be seeking a fresh start in the summer. The 31-year-old has scored 107 goals in 353 appearances for Liverpool but his influence on Klopp’s team cannot be measured by statistics alone.

Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil has been buttering up opposite number Mikel Arteta ahead of their 4-0 defeat to Arsenal this weekend.

That’s part of the job, and his inability to answer proper questions is all part of the dance, too. They had previously believed it was blocked and were stunned to learn via the media that it was to be waved through. It’s a fair point, but I think with Eddie Howe, it’s the wilful ignorance and avoidance of the question, the idea that he knows there is something morally “off” in taking money and being the frontman for the Saudi Arabian ownership. We face a fantastic opponent and we are looking forward, so it is all about us getting the right preparation to be ready for that game. I’ve made my statement to the club and the lawyers and that’s it.” And so to the latest instalment of a fixture that has never simply been about football. Firmino, however, has informed Klopp he will not be signing an extension and will be seeking a fresh start in the summer. “He deserves to be in the England squad but he has to keep improving,” says the Aston Villa manager. “We have to focus on ourselves, how we can improve between the Liverpool and Villa games. If the formation is Klopp’s 4-3-3 with the false nine that Bobby made his own, I think you have to go with Dalglish in the “Bobby position”, flanked by Salah on the right and Rush or Mane on the left. So to have turned it around and had the team in the place he has them at the moment – very, very impressive. “Having watched them a lot this week, no surprise that they are where they are and they’re clear at the top.

DOMINIC KING: The news felt inevitable but that doesn't stop it from being significant: Roberto Firmino is to leave Liverpool and that devastating trident ...

At his best, Firmino was the architect of so much magic and so memories. He’s funny, he gets involved in the banter. His pirouettes, ‘no look’ passes and changes of direction made fools of those trying to contain him. ‘But we were really lucky as Dunga, their then manager, agreed to let Roberto leave the team hotel and meet me for an hour with his agent.’ There was a different animal here. He has been an incredible buy – someone out of the very top drawer.’ When Klopp arrived at Anfield in October 2015, he couldn’t believe his good fortune to find a forward he had watched blossom at Hoffenheim. It is an extraordinary statistic and while Mane and Salah did the lion’s share of the finishing, Firmino’s importance must never be understated. For five years, from 2017, they were Europe’s finest front three, scoring or assisting 399 of the 611 goals they plundered in that period. DOMINIC KING: Roberto Firmino will leave Liverpool a legend after winning all there is to win at Anfield... That he has. I can’t believe you got him!” He was very, very complimentary.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes it is "best for all parties" that Roberto Firmino will be leaving the club in the summer.

The immediate priority, though, will be to leave Liverpool on a high note. He has been Klopp’s most used player, so his exit will represent the end of an era. It will be important for Liverpool to keep relying on him, though, until he does depart. It would be the third major European league he has experienced after his time in the Bundesliga and Premier League. [Firmino has now told Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp that he intends to find a new club in the summer](https://www.teamtalk.com/liverpool/breaking-player-tells-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-exit-request-push-serie-a-giant). He has already been linked quite heavily with Inter Milan; they might need another attacker if they send Romelu Lukaku back to Chelsea at the end of his loan spell.

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino will depart the Reds at the end of the season at the end of his contract. But where will he end up?

But the race to pick him up in the summer could be a battle that really hots up. If Real Madrid comes in, that option would be hard to turn down. He is also sixth in the pecking order when every Liverpool attacker is fit.

[New to Kayo? Firmino also has the honour of being the highest-scoring Brazilian in the English top flight with 78 goals to his name. Firmino is one of five Liverpool players out of contract in the post-season ahead of a major rebuild. This season, Firmino has nine goals and four assists for the Reds but has battled with injuries. Firmino, who has scored 102 goals in 352 appearances for the club, was fundamental to Liverpool’s rise back to the top of the English and European game under Klopp. Roberto Firmino is set to leave Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the season, bringing an end to an eight-year career at Anfield.

A smile for all occasions, and a smirk for even the most awkward of them. And while Firmino may have been the least eye-catching member of the trio in that time he was undeniably central, literally as well as figuratively, to the devastation they caused. The manager as much as the fans will be gutted by the player’s wish to leave in a few months time. He’s our first line of defence, he nicks the ball in midfield and then he goes up the park and scores goals and makes assists. He looked lost in a team that was losing its way under Brendan Rodgers and things did not improve for him even after the Northern Irishman was sacked in October 2015 and [replaced by Klopp](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/09/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-manager-normal-one).

The smirks, the smiles, the no-look goals and Kung fu-kick celebrations; “Bobby” delighted Kopites in so many ways, over and over again.

Many reds favourite player of the Jurgen Klopp-era and a true Liverpool Legend, it's been confirmed our number nine will finally depart at the end of the season ...

Enjoy the man and the legend whilst he’s still around. The long and hard goodbye begins before the painful farewell. Whilst it does hurt and it’s the start of the long goodbye, there’s no farewell for anyone just yet.

Firmino has written his name into the pantheon of Anfield greats over the past eight years - and he did it with a smile on his face.

He hasn’t started a game for Liverpool since early November due to a calf injury and the form of Klopp’s other attacking options. His best return came in 2017-18, when he scored 26 goals and got the assist on 16 more across all competitions. What a return they have had on that £29million investment since he arrived from German club Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015. He is regarded as the ultimate team player. Having looked lost playing as a wing-back in the dire final weeks of Rodgers’ reign, Firmino was transformed under the German after being moved into the false-nine role. The impending exit of a player who has been so integral to everything Liverpool have achieved throughout Klopp’s reign is a symbol of their transition. Firmino knew that if he stayed put beyond this season, his opportunities to get on the pitch would have become increasingly limited. After eight years at Anfield, at age 31, he has decided to pursue a new challenge when his contract expires in the summer. Not least because Firmino’s form in the first half of this season suggested he still has a lot left to offer. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had hoped that Firmino would accept the club’s offer of an extension, but he always knew it was likely that longer, more lucrative proposals would be forthcoming from elsewhere. With nine goals in 26 appearances in all competitions (16 of them starts), he’s Liverpool’s third top scorer in 2022-23. Off the pitch, he’s the quiet introvert — a man of few words who prefers to stay out of the limelight.

Jurgen Klopp's plans for the centre-forward position have been revealed by a report following Roberto Firmino's decision to leave Liverpool this summer.

That is the main position Liverpool hope to improve in the summer. There are concerns over the form of Joel Matip and Joe Gomez, with West Ham’s Nayef Aguerd a potential target. They believe there is enough strength in forward areas already, with Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo all able to play through the middle. Firmino’s Liverpool contract is due to expire at the end of the season. The Reds had been hoping to extend it by two years, plus the option of a third. He tweeted: “If the reports about Firmino leaving at the end of the season are true, I do think it’s best for all parties.
