You can watch Klopp’s comments on Firmino (from 6:14) via Liverpool FC on YouTube:
Bobby Firmino is in the final year of his Liverpool contract, and while there is still time for a new deal to be negotiated, there hasn’t been much news on whether this will happen, so Jurgen Klopp was asked to provide an update on our No.9.
Speaking with the media after the victory over Wolves, the 55-year-old was asked about the Brazilian’s future: “I said that before: yes, I want to keep him at the club, of course”.
It was a brief statement from the manager, but it was a clear indication of where he wants the 31-year-old to play football next season, implying that the decision now rests with the player or the owners.
With reports that the former Hoffenheim forward wants a contract extension until 2025, maybe this is just a matter of time until we see a new deal agreed.
