Firmino Transfer: End of Road for Bobby Firmino at Liverpool, 5 Reasons why it will be BAD for Firmino to Leave Merseyside Reds – Check Out
Firmino joined Liverpool for £29m from Hoffenheim in 2015. His contract will expire in the summer and he will be a free agent in the upcoming transfer window. It shouldn’t be an easy call for the Brazil international to leave a top club like Liverpool. He won trophies and become a top player under Jurgen Klopp. Let’s go through a simple episode of 5 reasons why Firmino’s call to leave Anfield may backfire on him.
1. Injury issues and age may hurt him
Firmino had a calf injury that interrupted his campaign in November. He has to be fit if he wants to take a different route in his career. He has to justify his tag as one of the most prominent strikers in Europe. He is known for his clinical finishing, proficient technical ability, and impressive work rate. At the age of 31, it would be tough to carry the same stamina.
2. Winning trophies at other clubs?

Firmino has won everything at Liverpool and these title glories will be missing in the future if he doesn’t get a deal from big clubs. He helped Liverpool to win the first league championship in 30 years in 2020 followed by the Champions League title and the Club World Cup in 2019. He completed his trophy cabinet by winning the FA Cup and League Cup last season. He won 7 trophies for Liverpool and appeared in more than 350 games.

Firmino has spent around 8 years at Anfield and you set up an actual fan base when you play for the biggest Premier League club. He added glories for the Reds. Will he get the same amount of affection and love outside Liverpool? It takes years to get this. The man who set the magic with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah would not carry the same value at another club.
4. His place in Brazil’s plans for the 2026 World Cup!
Firmino is 31 years old and the next FIFA World Cup is in 2026. Brazil had a poor World Cup in Qatar and Firmino knows it was his Liverpool heroics that helped him to find a place in the squad. Brazil have few other options in attack. Rumors are saying that the Saudi Arabian club is believed to be readying a “huge offer” to Firmino. It affects the player in the national setup because your club performance matters but it’s important your involvement in the toughest league or not.
5. Carrying the same legacy to a glorious end?
Every player looks for a better finish in his career and Firmino will surely go through this. The upcoming summer window will decide his future and most importantly, the game time. Will he get the same backing as Jurgen Klopp? Currently, the top clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham have their options. If they go for the Brazilian, he would be the backup option. The dip in his form is also a concern to revive his value at another club. Everyone is not Jurgen Klopp. We have seen players losing their charm after leaving their favourite clubs.
Liverpool somehow started their preparation to move on from Firmino. The 31-year-old will leave a big legacy to the club like Sadio Mane. Liverpool invested in good players to make their attack formidable such as Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, and Cody Gakpo this season. They have the summer transfer window to boost their squad. Meanwhile, Firmino will wait for the big deal coming from a top club or he can also move to Saudi Arabia like Ronaldo. Current form and injury issues might hurt their chances.
