BARCELONA NEW TRANSFER
UPDATES 🔥💙❤
-Roberto Firmino has agreed a deal to
join Barcelona when his Liverpool
contract ends in June.
It will bring to a close his glittering
eight-year stay at Anfield, where he is
no longer a regular starter in Jurgen
Klopp’s team.
He has won the Champions League,
the Premier League, the FA Cup, the
League Cup and the Club World Cup
since his £29million move from
Hoffenheim in 2015.
Klopp has made it clear he would
have liked to keep Firmino, 31, but the
Brazilian has made up his mind to
move on to a new challenge.
He has suffered a hamstring injury
and will miss the next three games,
but Klopp remains hopeful he can
return before the end of the season.
New signings Darwin Nunez and Cody
Gakpo, from Benfica and PSV
respectively, have edged Firmino
further from the starting line-up.
Fan favourite Firmino has scored 109
goals in 360 appearances for
Liverpool.
He can expect an emotional farewell
after the final home game of the
season, against Aston Villa on May 20

“appreciate” Barcelona

This summer’s transfer window is expected to
be a busy one, with several arrivals having
been heavily linked over the last few weeks, as
Xavi Hernandez seeks reinforcements for his
first team squad.
However, departures will also be
essential, as they look to improve
their precarious financial situation. La
Liga President Javier Tebas has
stated that Barcelona need to
drastically reduce their wage bill
ahead of next season, in order to
comply with Financial Fair Play.
With that in mind, Barcelona are
expected to entertain offers for most
of their first team squad, although
they do plan to keep the majority
together ahead of next season.
One player that could leave in the
summer is Franck Kessie, with a return
to Italy having been heavily rumoured
throughout the course of this season.
Speaking to Caught Offside, Fabrizio
Romano has confirmed that Inter
Milan are interested in signing the
Ivorian.
“Inter Milan appreciate Kessie, he’s
one of the names they have on the
list, and they already wanted him in
January. Let’s see if Financial Fair Play
will change the situation in the
summer.”
Kessie has been firm in his desire to
stay at Barcelona this summer, and
the club itself intend to keep him
around for next season at least.
However, much could depend on
whether they are forced to sell
players due to the financial situation.
