Roberto Firmino Liverpool contract

 Roberto Firmino Liverpool contract

Roberto Firmino's Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, delivers an update on his contract situation while negotiations regarding Brazil's snub are underway. Firmino's current deal expires in the summer.

The status of negotiations for Roberto Firmino's new Liverpool contract has been verified by Jurgen Klopp.

The Brazilian forward is a free agent in the summer and can negotiate a pre-contract deal with clubs outside of England in January, when his current contract's last six months are up.

The 2015 summer signing Firmino is now in his eighth season on Merseyside and Klopp claims negotiations are taking place behind the scenes with the South American's representation. Firmino is one of just a few players to have played at Anfield before Klopp.

When questioned about the status of Firmino's contract, Klopp responded, "Normal conversations [are] going as well, so we will see what happens there."

Liverpool finished the World Cup with a win at Anfield to mark the beginning of Nathan Jones' Southampton tenure with a defeat.

Before the Saints' unmarked Che Adams equalised for the Reds, Roberto Firmino put the disappointment of not making the Brazil squad for Qatar behind him by scoring the opening goal for the Reds.

Darwin Nunez of Uruguay scored twice in the game's first half to give Liverpool the lead.

Nunez made it 2-1 when he prodded past Gavin Bazunu from close range before tapping in the third goal after Andy Robertson's pass. Nunez is one of seven Reds players now headed to the World Cup.

Without the 20-year-old Bazunu's two superb saves, both of which came from close range and denied Mohamed Salah and Firmino, Liverpool would have won by a larger margin.

Alisson, the goalkeeper for the Reds, also made a strong save to save Adams' header in the 77th minute.

LIVERPOOL FOR SALE

 In response to rumours that Liverpool is up for sale, the club's owners state that they "would consider new shareholders."

The Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which acquired Liverpool in 2010, is reportedly "inviting proposals," according to The Athletic.

"Remains entirely committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the field," according to FSG.

Liverpool, which finished second in the Premier League last year, is currently sixth.

They have advanced to the round of 16, where they will play Real Madrid in a rematch of the championship game from the previous year.

In a statement, FSG said: "There have been a number of recent ownership changes at Premier League teams, as well as rumours of ownership changes, and unavoidably, we are frequently questioned about Fenway Sports Group's ownership of Liverpool.

"Third parties have regularly expressed interest in joining FSG as shareholders in Liverpool.

As previously stated by FSG, if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club, we would consider new shareholders under the proper terms and conditions.

In a £300 million deal, FSG acquired Liverpool from New England Sports Ventures.

LeBron James, a professional basketball player, purchased a 2% share in Liverpool for £4.7 million in 2011, making him a part owner since then.

Since then, he has grown to be a minor partner in FSG, the company that also owns baseball team Boston Red Sox.

A private investment company called RedBird Capital Partners purchased a stake in FSG in March for around $735 million (£533 million).

After Liverpool pulled out of a proposed European Super League in April 2021, the club's major owner John W Henry issued an apology to the supporters.

This summer, Liverpool spent £64 million on striker Darwin Nunez, £5 million on attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho, and £4.2 million on defender Calvin Ramsay.

Manager Jurgen Klopp remarked in August, "There are times when I would be willing to take a little bit more of a risk, but I don't determine that and that's great.

Jurgen Klopp thinks it's inappropriate to expect players to protest while at the Qatar World Cup since "they go there to play football."

 Jurgen Klopp thinks it's inappropriate to expect players to protest while at the Qatar World Cup since "they go there to play football."

It is incorrect to anticipate players to protest while competing at the Qatar World Cup, according to Jurgen Klopp.

For the first time ever, the contentious event will start later this month and take place during the winter in Europe.

Since 2010, there has been intense controversy over the decision to allow Qatar to host the tournament due to the country's dubious human rights record and stringent policies pertaining to issues like homosexuality and alcohol prohibitions.

The manager of Liverpool believes FIFA and those who decided to give the Gulf nation the opportunity to host the tournament should take the brunt of the criticism. Some of the competing nations' captains have consented to wear armbands with the message "One Love."

"I don't like that we now demand action from the players. To play football, they travel there, the Liverpool manager told Sky News (via 90MIN).

It is not the responsibility of the athletes in this generation to say, "We don't go, or we don't do that. If you want to criticise anyone, criticise the people who made the choice to hold the World Cup in Qatar because they were the ones who decided it.

Many Liverpool players, including Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, and Darwin Nunez, are anticipated to participate in the competition, with the final scheduled for December 18.

Diogo Jota's hamstring injury, which he suffered during our triumph over Manchester City last month, has forced him to withdraw from the competition, which is a major setback for the Portugal star.

On Boxing Day, the Reds will meet Aston Villa at Villa Park in the return of Premier League action. Let's hope that our No. 20 and Luis Diaz will be well and ready to go before then.

Liverpool v Napoli (20:00 GMT) Team news - Konate return a lift for Liverpool

 The injury recovery of Ibrahima Konate against Napoli is a huge boost for Liverpool. When injured this season, the young France centre defence has been sorely missed.

In order to make room for his comeback, Joe Gomez moves to the bench, and Andy Robertson is rested in favour of Kostas Tsimikas.

Despite scoring in victories away to Rangers and Ajax, striker Darwin Nunez is yet another player not in Liverpool's starting lineup. Harvey Elliott is replaced by Curtis Jones and James Milner, with Harvey Elliott moving to the sidelines.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Van Dijk, Konate, Milner, Thiago, Fabinho, Jones, Firmino, Salah.

Liverpool's manager rejects claims that his team is deteriorating.

 Liverpool's manager refuted claims that his team is deteriorating by saying that management is not simply about "when the sun is shining."

The Reds, who have already advanced to the Champions League knockout stages, will play Napoli on Tuesday.

They've had trouble in the Premier League, though, and are currently ranked ninth after winning just four of their first 12 games.

We won't give up battling, but it's not a quick remedy, stated Klopp.

"People who look at me often comment that I appear to be exhausted, but I'm not. I am unable to employ that defence. It's not just my responsibility to be present when we receive a trophy in the bright sunshine.

With players like Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Thiago Alcantara, and Jordan Henderson all being 30 years of age or older, Klopp's current starting XI also boasts one of the oldest average ages in the English top division.

This season, the German and Liverpool's owners have come under fire for not doing more to revitalise a team that came dangerously close to winning an unprecedented quadruple of titles the previous season.

However, Klopp argues that it would be unfair to evaluate his team or his own position before the season is over due to a string of critical player injuries.

Klopp continued, "I believe this should be judged later in the season, or perhaps at the conclusion.
