 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."
