# Virals: European giants ‘plotting a move’ for Roberto Firmino

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/18/virals-liverpool-reportedly-leading-the-race-to-sign-noa-lang/) forward [Roberto Firmino](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/21/tony-cascarino-tips-roberto-firmino-to-depart-liverpool-first/) is subject to reported interest from two of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Bayern Munich and AC Milan – two European superpowers boasting a combined [13 European Cups](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/winners/) – are believed to be ‘plotting a move’ for the 30-year-old Brazilian.

Often the creator and the bridesmaid when it comes to goalscoring, Firmino became the first player from the Samba nation to [score more than one hat-trick](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1449365591287078919) in the Premier League over the weekend.

According to a report from *[SportAndGoal](https://www.stopandgoal.com/2021/10/16/calciomercato-firmino-bayern-monaco/),* as cited by [Liverpool FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/status/1449986097807872000) on Twitter, both clubs could target the Reds’ number nine to replenish their ageing attacking options.

The report claims that Milan are looking to ‘revolutionise’ their frontline with the capture of the [55-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roberto-firmino/nationalmannschaft/spieler/131789/verein_id/3439) star.

This season, the man described as being in [‘blistering form’](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58920777) by Garth Crooks, has scored [six goals and registered one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roberto-firmino/leistungsdaten/spieler/131789) in seven appearances.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Under contract on Merseyside until 2023 and valued at £36million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roberto-firmino/marktwertverlauf/spieler/131789)), Liverpool and the hierarchy more importantly need to come up with a solution for Firmino’s future soon.

Clearly still an internal part of Jurgen Klopp’s plans, the [creative Brazilian](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/Show/Roberto-Firmino) ace would appear to have a future beyond the next two seasons at Anfield.

Albeit facing increased competition for a starting berth from Diogo Jota, as well as potential further additions, selling such a [key component](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54815872) of the squad to a European rival would be a mistake.
