Liverpool fans are devastated to hear that striker Roberto Firmino is set to leave the Anfield club at the end of the season. Esteemed journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that the Brazilian might be on his way out of Merseyside.
Firmino has been a great servant for the Premier League giants during his time at the club. He has scored 107 goals and has provided 78 assists in 352 matches since joining from Hoffenheim in 2015.
Firmino has played 25 games across competitions this term, scoring nine goals and providing four assists.
The Brazilian, however, will see his contract run out at the end of the season. As per Plettenberg, the Brazilian has informed Jurgen Klopp about his intention to leave the club.

A fan favorite, Firmino won one UEFA Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup and one Premier League title with the Reds. He also added one UEFA Super Cup, one FA Cup, one EFL Cup, and a Community Shield to his cabinet while at Anfield.
His partnership with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah led Klopp's side to glory over the past few years. However, Mane left the club for Bayern Munich at the start of the 2022-23 season. With Firmino set to bring his chapter to an end, Salah will be the only player among the trio remaining.

"My heart just shattered into a million pieces, i cannot fathom the pain, my love goes out to you Roberto Firmino Barbosa de Oliveira, my one and only."
