Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino says he cannot see himself playing for another club in the immediate future.
Speaking to Lance, as reported by UOL Sports, Firmino expressed his desire to stay at Anfield for the long-term.
Liverpool are one of the greats in Europe and being able to be part of the history of such a great club is gratifying to me. I work hard every day to give my best and I believe that the fans, the coaching staff and the board my delivery by wearing that shirt.
I’m very happy here at Liverpool and I do not see myself out of that club for years to come. I believe that I am living one of the best phases of my career and I owe much to the trust that the club has placed in me from the beginning.
There have been some suggestions that the club will look to offer the Brazilian a new contract to avoid further high-profile exits, following Philippe Coutinho’s move to Barcelona in the January transfer window.
The player is under contract until 2020 after joining from Hoffenheim in 2015 in a £29 million deal.
Firmino has made the number nine spot his own this season at Anfield, scoring 18 goals in all competitions this season.
The 26-year-old also praised manager Jurgen Klopp, who he claimed transformed him as a Liverpool player.
The arrival of Jürgen Klopp was very important for my growth within the team. Since he arrived here at Liverpool, he has changed my positioning, put me playing as a forward and that was the watershed for me here at the club.
