Jose Mourinho wants outgoing Liverpool star at AS Roma

Jose Mourinho wants outgoing Liverpool star Roberto Firmino at AS Roma

Liverpool may be losing one of their key players this summer to an Italian side, as reports suggest that AS Roma show interest in making a move for Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian forward announced his departure from Anfield last month, sparking a flurry of speculation about his future. It now seems that the Italian giants are hoping to snap him up after his contract at the Reds expires.

Firmino has been an integral part of Liverpool’s success over the past eight years, contributing a wealth of goals and assists to the team. He has also established himself as one of the best players in the Premier League, attracting attention from some of the top clubs in Europe.

According to Calciomercato via ECHO, Firmino would stand as a perfect fit for Roma and could provide an ideal replacement for Tammy Abraham. The England international sees himself linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico after two impressive seasons, and Firmino could be the man to fill his shoes.

Roma boss Jose Mourinho is apparently a big admirer of the Liverpool star and sees him as a key addition to his squad. While it is obviously a big loss to the Reds, as fans, we can only hope that Bobby gets the sendoff he deserves from the Merseysiders.

Bobby to Roma?

However, Liverpool fans can take some solace in the fact that the club has a history of finding talented replacements for departing stars. Over the years, they have obviously brought in players like Salah, Mane, and Firmino himself to fill the void left by the likes of other stars at the club.

One could expect Jurgen Klopp to mould Cody Gakpo, who certainly has a lot of attributes similar to that of Bobby to emulate the Brazilian’s role in the squad going forward. As far as Roma are concerned, they best be assured of getting into their team, an absolute superstar.

Despite the potential loss of Firmino, Liverpool will be hoping to build on their recent success and challenge for major honours next season. The club has been on an upward trajectory since Jurgen Klopp took charge in 2015, and they will be eager to continue that progress.

They have a talented squad and a passionate fanbase, and they will be looking to make their mark both domestically and in Europe following a very disappointing campaign this year.
