The 31-year-contract old's is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, and no agreement has been reached regarding an extension. The Daily Mail reported on Thursday that Firmino has admirers in Saudi Arabia, though it's believed at this point that he'd prefer to sign a new deal as talks from the Gulf State have not advanced.

Firmino has had a productive season since rejoining Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup, appearing 11 times in his last 13 Premier League games, The Daily Telegraph's Edwards informed the Transfer Gossip Daily that it is far too handy to potentially hold much weight because Saudi Arabia's interest coincides with the Brazilian's contract's expiration.

“I believe this is a traditional trick used by players in contract negotiations. Seeing another well-known football player sign a ludicrous contract with Saudi Arabia, let's just throw the name in there.” I'm going to say right now that I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool let Firmino go since I believe they now have a bit of an issue with an aging group.

Do they really need another 30-year-old striker committed to a lengthy contract that will drain their pay budget? Since nobody travels to Saudi Arabia for anything other than money, I believe this is more of a negotiation tactic. It still seems as though Firmino's days are short despite a comeback this season that has seen him score seven goals and three assists in just 13 league games,

Liverpool has recently added Cody Gakpo

Up from five goals and four assists the year prior, When everyone is well, Liverpool has recently added Cody Gakpo and will be able to welcome back Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz to an attacking lineup that currently includes Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez, leaving the Brazilian at a loss, with nine players presently 30 years of age or older on the Reds' roster, Jurgen Klopp will want to update his offensive options, which he has done with Gakpo.
