Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is reportedly the ‘subject of interest’ from Barcelona.
The 30-year-old Brazilian is out of contract at Anfield at the end of next season and looks to have an uncertain future as a Red.
As the club attempt to tie down Mohamed Salah – amidst much speculation from player and agent alike – Firmino’s stay beyond 2023 looks to be in serious doubt.
The always busy @FabrizioRomano! Happy new year! How’s it going?

According to a report from Spanish outlet El Nacional, as cited by Transfer News Live on Twitter, the La Liga giants may swoop for the ace.

The report claims that the 55-cap Brazil international has been ‘offered’ to Barca and would be available for around €20million (£16.6million) as Liverpool look to cut their losses.
This season Firmino has scored seven times and provided four assists in 18 appearances across all competitions.

Much loved for an unmatched flamboyant style, it will be a sad day whenever the skilful Brazilian’s time on Merseyside does come to an end.
Albeit the false nine continues to produce the goods for Jurgen Klopp’s side, it’s highly unlikely that the club extends the contracts of the entire front three.
Unfortunately, that means that the £34.2million valued Firmino could indeed be one of the names on the departure list in the summer.
As for Salah’s agent sounding out Fabrizio Romano, let’s all hope it means positive news is imminent.
