Liverpool star Roberto Firmino could be set for ‘big move’ after source’s offer update – pundit
Paul Robinson has claimed Roberto Firmino may reject a new contract offer from Liverpool in favour of “one last big move.”
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one said the 31-year-old has “all of the power” when it comes to his future.
Firmino is out of contract at Anfield next June.
Sources have told Football Insider (6 December) that the Reds have tabled the Brazilian forward a sizeable new contract in a bid to retain his services.
However, it is understood to be on reduced terms.
When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of the latest, Robinson said: “At this point in his contract, he is in control of his own destiny.
“At this stage of his career he might chase the money and that would be understandable. If he has been offered a deal on lower terms at Liverpool it is a question of whether he thinks that is acceptable.
“He looks happy there and he may want to finish his career there. But, he might want to have one last big move.
“The ball is in the player’s court. I do not like to see clubs allowing players to run down their contracts. It seems to be happening a lot at Liverpool at the moment. That gives the player all of the power. It‘s down to Firmino and what he wants to do.”
