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.

He has helped them win the Premier League and Champions League and has secured legendary status at Anfield. However, Darwin Nunez's arrival has seen him make ...

“It’s the end of an era at Liverpool. “The numbers of those three players were incredible. “For a player who has won that many trophies, scored that many goals and has been very self-sacrificial for the team. “He has been a great servant to the club, in fact I think he’s not done that badly this year with his goals but he’s been out injured for a long time.” He told talkSPORT: “I don’t think that’s such a surprise when you think of the number of strikers that they just bought at the club. As a result, it is understood Firmino has told Jurgen Klopp he will leave the club at the end of the season.

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.

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. At the end of his contract, he will be approaching the age of 32 and has suffered extensively from injuries over the past two seasons.

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.

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.

The manager as much as the fans will be gutted by the player’s wish to leave in a few months time.

There is a lot of work to do in the midfield and there might be a need for a center-back as well. Liverpool's move for Gakpo means there is little need for another transfer on the forward line.
