Juventus table opening bid for Liverpool striker Firmino

Liverpool chiefs are considering selling Roberto Firmino over handing him a new contract.

TuttoJuve says Juventus are considering Firmino as an option to bolster their attacking ranks further ahead of the new campaign.

The 36-time Serie A champions have presented Liverpool with a formal bid worth £19.5m as they look to add to their capture of Angel di Maria.

However, there are doubts over the offer among the Reds' hierarchy, which could prompt Juventus to return with an improved approach in the coming days.

The Bianconeri may aim to seal an agreement as soon as possible, although whether Liverpool would cash in on Firmino if the price is right remains to be seen. The Brazilian has less than a year to run on his Reds deal.

The 30-year-old has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup during his stint on Merseyside.
