Liverpool’s emotional ending with Firmino
A difficult 2022/23 season for Liverpool is guaranteed to have an emotional ending.
Liverpool’s upcoming season promises to be difficult as they attempt to navigate their way back to the top of English football without the help of key players. One of those players is forward Roberto Firmino, who recently announced his decision to leave.

Firmino’s decision to leave Liverpool comes as no surprise to manager Jurgen Klopp, who explained that the forward wants a “fresh start” after falling down the pecking order in recent years.
“Yes, he told me. Surprised? Yes, a little bit but I was not hit by surprise, actually. It’s a normal thing to do,” Klopp said of Firmino’s decision.
Despite the news, Klopp maintains a deep level of respect for Firmino and their long-standing relationship.
“It could go two ways and it was one. And I respect that a lot. It’s completely normal in this kind of long relationship that we have and Bobby has with the club and with most of the players and stuff like this, and with the fans of course.”
Turkish giants interested in Firmino
Reports suggest that Turkish football club Galatasaray are keen to sign Firmino, with negotiations already in progress. If he does leave for Galatasaray, it will mark the end of Firmino’s six-year stint with the Premier League giants.
