Liverpool player to leave after Manchester City game

Rumours that with Matheus Cunha moving to Wolves, Atletico Madrid may target Roberto Firmino with six months left on his contract with Liverpool. According to Italian newspaper Calcio Mercato, Atletico Madrid are still very interested in acquiring the services of Roberto Firmino in the upcoming summer transfer window in order to boost their attacking rotation and have a first class reference in the box. This is a new target for the club's sporting management.

The 31-year-old Brazilian striker's contract with Liverpool expires in the summer of 2023 and there is no information on his renewal because it is unknown whether he will have continuity in the future in the presence of Darwin Núñez and Diogo Jota, who have taken away his starting berth in Jürgen Klopp's team. His situation has attracted the attention of several important teams who need to strengthen their attack.

Atletico Madrid are keeping a close eye on him because they see him as an ideal option to have a top level attacker inside the box who can offer more play to the team alongside names like Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix, who could link up well with the Brazilian. Roberto Firmino has six goals and three assists in 11 games played in all competitions at the start of the season.

Diego Pablo Simeone has been delighted with his performances and sees him as a valuable option both in terms of his current and contractual situation, adding that he is a player who would help him return to his two-pronged system. Juventus are also interested in his signature considering the poor performances of their attackers and that they need to break the market to return to being the best team in Italy.

Firmino could move to Atletico Madrid

The Liverpool striker is making a great start to the season on an individual level, something that has not gone unnoticed by Diego Pablo Simeone's side. In fact, Firmino could join Atleti at zero cost during the summer of 2023. Liverpool were coming off the back of sensational seasons in both the Premier League and the Old Continent. However, as incredible as it may seem, Jürgen Klopp's machinery has not been working so far this season. That's why alarm bells are ringing at Anfield.
