Roberto Firmino agrees new five-year deal to keep him at Liverpool until 2023Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino has given Jurgen Klopp the perfect start to one of the biggest weeks of his reign by agreeing a five-year deal at the club.
Firmino will sign a contract worth about £9 million a year prior to his club’s Champions League second leg tie in Rome, making him Liverpool’s highest-paid player.Most importantly, he has committed his peak years to Anfield following prolonged negotiations with club owner Fenway Sports Group. The deal, paying £180,000 a week, retains Firmino until the summer of 2023.“It was an easy decision,” said the Brazilian. “The club have taken me in in an incredible way and I’ve grown a lot here with my work with the support of the whole team. I am very happy here. Everything fits in the best possible way.
“My team-mates are fantastic and I am grateful to be able to play with them at this club. I love to play for Liverpool FC. The fans are excellent and fantastic in how they support us all the way.”
Firmino was a priority signature with Michael Edwards, the sporting director, and Michael Gordon, FSG president, stepping up the frequency of talks with the player’s representatives in recent months and weeks.
Following the sale of Philippe Coutinho in January, Liverpool were determined to ensure their other prized assets were protected, thus avoiding the break-up of one of the most exciting squads in Europe. It is likely other star players will be similarly rewarded before the start of next season.
The timing of Firmino’s extension could not be better as Liverpool prepare to head to face AS Roma on Wednesday. He has been crucial to Liverpool’s European success with 10 goals in the run which has taken them so close to the final.
The 26 year-old moved to Liverpool from Hoffenheim for £29m in the summer of 2015, when Brendan Rodgers was still manager.
Initially, he struggled in a deeper midfield role but, since Klopp’s appointment, Firmino has been transformed into one of the most complete strikers in world football, his combined performance with work rate, assists, tackles and goals making him fundamental to the team’s success.
Liverpool know other European clubs have been looking with envy at Firmino, but Klopp was always confident the player would recognise the role the club has played in elevating his status.
As part of an attacking ensemble with Salah and Mane, Liverpool believed Firmino would recognise his future was best served remaining on Merseyside.
Firmino has 27 goals in all competitions this season and, but for Salah’s extraordinary run, he would have been earning more accolades.
