Following the summer transfer window, Liverpool will gradually undergo changes that will culminate in a complete overhaul of the squad not only in terms of stars arriving and leaving, but also a generational issue that will make the Reds a younger and more competitive club line by line, with Anfield currently a perfect blend of those with a wealth of experience and those youngsters who have quality in their boots.

This type of radical change undoubtedly affects the older player who is living his last moments as an elite player in a top level institution, being this the case of Roberto Firmino who at 30 years of age is beginning to be that recurrent in the bench of Jurgen Klopp, giving preference to the German tactician to his new pieces that he has been acquiring in the most recent transfer markets.

Part of that imminent change seems to have been accepted by the Brazilian international so far, because even though Firmino has already found the net three times and assisted five times this season in the Premier League, the German coach has preferred to leave him on the sidelines in the Champions League and use other resources such as the 25-year-old Portuguese, Diogo Jota, and the recent Uruguayan acquisition from Benfica, Darwin Núñez.

The 'Scratch du Oro' international is in the final year of his contract at Liverpool, and so far there have been no signs of a possible renewal. Firmino is one of the longest-serving players at Anfield, accumulating in 335 games a record of 101 goals and 77 assists, winning titles such as the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and Community Shield in almost eight years, making the 2017-2018 season the most productive since his arrival in England.

Klopp will let Firmino go?

Liverpool looked to youth as their main option for improvement in the not-too-distant future, with the squad already containing players younger than the regular first-team regulars of previous seasons. At the same time, Klopp and the board are already seriously considering including new youth players such as Jude Bellingham or Moisés Caicedo in their shopping list, giving exit or using as a bargaining chip those who have seen some irregularity or decline in the squad.
