He would arrive at zero cost, as a free agent, after finishing his contract with Liverpool, where he has played the last eight courses
Roberto Firmino has reached an agreement to sign for FC Barcelona starting next season, once his contractual relationship with Liverpool ends this June; according to the British newspaper ‘Daily Mail’. Barça, thus, would reinforce their attack with a free addition, since the Brazilian would arrive as a free agent.
The Blaugrana club needs a goal and their priority is to sign Vitor Roque, although could open the doors to players at zero cost like Firmino or Aubameyang if the bid for the Brazilian is very expensive. If they bet on a more veteran forward, the Gabonese would have all the numbers, yes, as long as he leaves for free.
This way, Firmino would put an end to eight seasons at Anfield, becoming part of one of the best strikers of the 21st century, along with Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah. The team led by Jurgen Klopp won the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020. In the offices of the English team they expected to receive the green light for the striker’s renewalbut they have met with the refusal to continue being ‘red’.
At 31 years old, this season he has dressed short 33 times, scoring eleven times and having distributed five assists. However, his role as undisputed in the team is no longer the same and he has not completed a game since October.
