Real Madrid make SHOCKING move for Liverpool veteran .





According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is considering a surprising move for Liverpool legend Roberto Firmino. Romano reports that Firmino is among the options on Madrid's striker shortlist. The Brazilian forward will be leaving Liverpool next month as his contract expires.

Speculation surrounding Firmino's future has been rife ever since he informed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in March that he would not be extending his stay at Anfield beyond the summer. The 31-year-old has been linked with several clubs, including Barcelona, teams in Italy, and Saudi Arabia. However, Romano's recent report suggests that Real Madrid has now entered the picture.

In his tweet, Romano stated, "Roberto Firmino, one of the names considered by Real Madrid—there are no negotiations as of now, just internal discussions about Bobby." Madrid is in search of new attacking options, as they have heavily relied on an aging Karim Benzema in recent seasons. Firmino, with his skill set, would be a suitable alternative for the number 9 role currently occupied by Benzema. Furthermore, Madrid is also looking for a long-term successor to Benzema, with Erling Haaland believed to be their dream signing in the future.



Firmino has been a highly regarded figure at Liverpool, playing a crucial role in their successes in the Champions League and Premier League since his arrival from Hoffenheim in 2015. Despite facing reduced playing time this season due to the arrivals of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, Firmino has still managed to score 12 goals in all competitions. This limited involvement in matches has contributed to his decision to seek a new challenge elsewhere. Throughout his Liverpool career, Firmino has scored a total of 110 goals in 361 appearances.

While there have been internal discussions within Real Madrid regarding Firmino, it is important to note that there are currently no ongoing negotiations. However, the potential move to Madrid presents an intriguing prospect for the Brazilian forward, offering him a fresh start at a prestigious club that boasts a rich history of success. As the situation continues to develop, fans and football enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting further updates on Firmino's potential transfer to Real Madrid.
