Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino will leave the club in the summer, according to reports.

Roberto Firmino, who is at the Merseyside club since 2015, will be leaving the club on a free transfer in the summer. His contract expires this season and the Brazilian has decided to leave the club to seek new pastures.

Firmino has had a stellar career at Liverpool, but the centre forward has seen his chances getting limited over the last couple of seasons. The 31-year-old has made only 37 league appearances since the start of last season, but wants to play more regularly. The arrivals of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have significantly curbed Firmino's minutes at the club.

Liverpool offered the player a new contract, but Firmino respectfully rejected the offer as he sees himself out of the club next season. This will end Firmino's eight-year-long association with the club. The player informed his decision to the manager and the club recently and will see out the final months of his current contract.
