According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are willing to let Roberto Firmino leave in the summer for €20 million (£16.5 million), with the forward having already been offered to Barcelona.
During his time at Anfield, the Brazilian has established himself as part of one of the most recognizable attacking triumvirates in world football, alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
However, injuries, combined with the arrival of Diogo Jota, have reduced the 30-year-playing old's time this season, and he has started just five of Liverpool's 22 Premier League games.
According to El Nacional, Jurgen Klopp has now agreed that the time has come to move the Brazilian on, with Barcelona keeping a close eye on the situation.
According to the report, Klopp is open to selling Firmino, with Jota taking over as a key component of his attack and Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi providing adequate cover.
According to the Catalan publication, Barcelona is looking for a new center forward after Sergio Aguero retired early this season following his move from Manchester City.
Firmino has been tasked with leading Liverpool's attack in the absence of Salah and Mane, who are both on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
During the week, the Reds were held to a 0-0 draw by Arsenal in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, despite the Gunners being reduced to ten men for the majority of the game.
On Sunday, however, there was more luck in front of goal in a 3-0 win over Brentford.
Firmino did not score, but he was involved in the third goal, teeing up Minamino after capitalizing on a defensive blunder.
