Reds boss still undecided on Brazilian attacker's renewal

After the Premier League enters a long break for the World Cup in Qatar, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will have plenty of time to get his head around all the ideas in his head and prioritise those situations that will benefit his squad next year, with the issue of Roberto Firmino's renewal a matter he must deal with quickly if he is not to regret not doing the right thing with the Brazilian in a few months' time.

Many at Liverpool, including Klopp, thought at the start of the season that Roberto Firmino might be living his last minutes in a Reds shirt after his age-related drop in performance, but the reality is that Bobby surprised his manager and the fans with an important goalscoring quota that has already made the team reconsider his stay for a while longer.

The great performances of the Brazilian player have made Klopp himself recognise his effort in this season full of difficulties, but even though Firmino has risen from the ashes to prove his worth at Anfield and not be a mere bargaining chip for another player, the German tactician has stayed away from statements on the subject, as he does not want to get his hopes up with his renewal or anger him with his departure in the summer.

The close relationship that the Brazilian international striker has had with the German coach may end up influencing the decision on his renewal, but beyond the friendship, the player has earned his renewal, as so far he has been the only one who has been able to make Darwin Nunez shine in his darkest moment, being this element the competition and support that Klopp's next net breaker needs, thanking Klopp for his professionalism to his player every chance he gets.

Klopp knows that his team is not in a position to buy and sell players left and right at the moment, needing now more than ever those experienced players so that the team can cope with this Premier League season, trusting the German to be able to finish at least among the top of the competition and not run the risk of participating next year in the Europa League.
