Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino has confirmed that he wishes to remain at the Premier League club beyond this season.
The 31-year-old forward is set to be a free agent in June and the Reds have yet to extend his contract.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have offered the Brazil international a short-term contract and are in talks with his representatives. It remains to be seen if the two parties can come to an agreement in the coming weeks.
Firmino has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club from Hoffenheim and has helped them win all the trophies at club level.
The Brazilian has 9 goals and 4 assists to his name in all competitions and there is no doubt that he could still be an important player for Liverpool in the coming seasons.
The Reds lost Sadio Mane at the start of the season and cannot afford to lose another experienced attacker in Firmino at the end of this season.
The player has now confirmed that he is happy at the Anfield club and wants to continue at Liverpool. The striker’s admission will mean a great boost for the club and the fans.
He said: “It’s fantastic to play top-level football here with great players. I am happy here and I intend to stay and help Liverpool.”

It will be interesting to see if the Reds can sort out the paperwork and extend their stay at the Merseyside club now.
Firmino is more than just a goalscorer and can play as a winger and attacking midfielder. His general football intelligence, experience and relentless work ethic make him an invaluable asset to Jurgen Klopp.
