Despite the win over Newcastle, this player decided not to renew and leaves Liverpool

Liverpool showed their class and beat Newcastle 2-0 at St James' Park tonight in Premier League matchday 24 thanks to goals from Code and Darwin Núñez and a great performance from Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson. This represents a boost to the mood ahead of Tuesday's Champions League last-16 clash with Real Madrid.

Jurgen Klopp seems to have found his ideal line-up for the rest of the season thanks to the return to form of players such as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson as well as some surprising players such as Stefan Bajcetic and the return to goalscoring form of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo.

However, despite the victory, there is one man who seems to have decided that he will not continue with Liverpool. According to SPORT 1, Brazilian Roberto Firmino has decided not to extend his contract with the Reds and is considering a move to Spain's La Liga with Atletico Madrid.

Roberto Firmino out

Be that as it may, players who are released at the end of the season are still a market opportunity and, in this case, it is the Merengues themselves who would try to fish in the free agency market in order to strengthen their squad for Real Madrid 2023/24. According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Florentino has reportedly set his sights on Roberto Firmino, Liverpool's Brazilian striker whose future is still up in the air.
