Roberto Firmino to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmio has decided against renewing his contract with the club and will instead move on as a free agent at the end of the 2022-23 campaign. 

According to Sky Germany, the 31-year-old has informed Jurgen Klopp of his decision and both parties have agreed to move on in the summer.

Firmino who moved to Anfield from Hoffenheim for £29 million in 2015, was part of a sensational attacking trio for Liverpool that included Mohamed Salah and the now departed Sadio Mane. 

He has scored 107 goals and provided 78 assists in 353 appearances for Liverpool and was an integral member of Jurgen Klopp's pressing system.

In 2019, he became the highest-scoring Brazilian striker in Premier League history with 78 goals. 

He has won seven titles with Liverpool, including the Champions League and Premier League titles in 2018/19 and 2019/20, respectively.

Although Firmino has found the net nine times and provided four assists this season, he has struggled with injuries and found it hard to hold down a regular place in the team even when fit.
