Firmino has already made a decision on his future, Klopp in disbelief

According to reports that have been generated in recent hours, Liverpool are already working on the renewal of Roberto Firmino. At the beginning of the season it was assumed that this would be his last season, he was even involved in a transfer deal, but in the end he stayed at Anfield to earn his place. As the season has gone by, he has become one of Jürgen's strong men, who is now the main supporter of his continuity.

At the moment the positions between the two parties are quite close and if nothing goes wrong they could announce an agreement in principle before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. As a consequence, this would put an end to one of Diego Simeone's requests, who had marked the Carioca international as one of the alternatives to reinforce Atlético de Madrid's forward line next summer.

The striker arrived seven seasons ago from Hoffenheim and since then has managed to carve out a very important place for himself at the Reds. In principle, his possible departure had been discussed in recent months, but the arrival of Klopp has put a stop to it. The German coach considers the striker's presence to be key for the coming years and has been putting pressure on the sporting management for some time now to ensure his continuity.

It is worth remembering that the Brazilian international is one of the targets that Barcelona have on the table and if his continuity at Anfield Road is confirmed, Barcelona will have to turn their sights on him. Atletico Madrid are one of the teams who would have the Brazilian on their list of targets. The striker is a long-standing desire of Diego Pablo Simeone and now that he is free there is a great opportunity to add him to the squad.

Firmino is wanted by several clubs

They will not be alone in the bidding for the Carioca, as Juventus are also after Firmino. In fact, Firmino's name has already been mentioned as a potential signing in Turin in the last transfer window and he is currently the main candidate to sign him. In any case, the cards are already on the table and both Atlético de Madrid and Juventus hope to close negotiations after the World Cup in Qatar.
