Firmino made first move in Liverpool split decision

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is calling time on his spell at the club.

The Brazilian forward has informed the Reds he will not sign a new deal in the coming months.

Per The Mail, the veteran wants to move on and seek a new challenge elsewhere.

Firmino was instrumental to all the success in the Jurgen Klopp reign, playing as a false nine alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in a fearsome front line.

The Reds have spent a lot of money on Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Fabio Carvalho in the past few seasons, along with securing Diogo Jota to a new deal.

Manager Klopp is unlikely to get a new forward if Firmino leaves, as investment may focus on the midfield.
