Ex-Liverpool defender Johnson questions Firmino future

Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson can understand Juventus turning Roberto Firmino's head.

Offering his view on the situation, Johnson has claimed Firmino can still 'play a big part' but may not be willing to stick around to see if that promises to be the case.

“Let's face it, if you're a top player you want to play every single week so I don't know how he feels about potentially playing a bit less next season," the ex-England international told GGRECON.

Jurgen Klopp obviously loves him and he's a legend of the club, but is he going to be happy playing the last twenty minutes in certain games? Probably not.

“You don't want to lose too many players who know the club inside out. I don't know if Firmino will be one of the first names on the teamsheet next season but I definitely believe that he will play a big part."
