Liverpool FC: Is Roberto Firmino leaving because of Darwin Nunez? – FOOTBALL

Does a longtime clipper say “Bye Bye” to Jürgen Klopp (55) and Liverpool FC?

As several international media reports, striker star Roberto Firmino (30) wants to leave the “Reds”!

The reason: Liverpool’s new star striker Darwin Núñez (23). He came this summer for almost 75 million euros, should be the future of the Liverpool storm.

You could also see that in the preparatory games against Manchester United (0:4), Crystal Palace (2:0) and RB Leipzig (5:0). Ex-Hoffenheimer Firmino, who switched to the “Reds” for 41 million euros in 2015, always started from the start, but never scored.

Núñez, on the other hand, came on for the Brazilian at halftime in the three friendlies, and after a rather mixed debut in the 4-0 loss to ManUnited, he shot four times against Leipzig (48th, 51st, 68th, 90th). So it’s quite possible that Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp will initially rely on the newcomer!

And: There should already be the first club interested in Firmino. According to Italian media, Juventus Turin are said to have targeted the Brazilian. As reported by “Tuttosport”, the “old lady” from northern Italy is said to have already made an offer for 23 million euros.

As is well known, Juve is still looking for a replacement for Paulo Dybala (28), who has switched to AS Roma – the Brazilian, who only has a contract with Liverpool until 2023, would be a good fit.

Firmino is said to have been unsatisfied with his playing time last season. The striker only scored five times in 20 games: a record that should not make him and Coach Klopp happy.

In addition, the change from Sturm colleague Sadio Mané (30, for 32 million euros to FC Bayern) should be another reason why Firmino wants to leave. Mané formed the storm trio with Firmino and superstar Mohamed Salah (30), which won the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League again in 2020 after 30 years.
