Juventus were reportedly in talks with Liverpool to sign Roberto Firmino last summer as they searched for a new experienced striker.
The Brazilian did not have a good 2021/2022 season after struggling with many injuries, which limited his time on the pitch.
He has entered the final year of his current contract with Liverpool and it looks like the Reds will allow him to leave even before this season is over.
This encouraged Juve to try it in the summer, but Jurgen Klopp’s side immediately rejected their proposal.
That decision has turned out to be a smart one, as he is now one of their main players, and has even surpassed Mohamed Salah in some competitions.
The Brazilian scores for fun now and Liverpool have benefited from keeping him, while Juve wish they had pushed to add him to their squad.
The Bianconeri remain interested and could give it a try in the January transfer window, which opens in a matter of months.
However, a report from Tuttomercatoweb reveals that they would be wasting their time because Liverpool consider him non-transferable at the moment.
The Reds will hang on to him for at least the rest of this season and might even offer him a new contract if he continues to perform well.
Juve FC says
Firmino is a good experienced attacker and will improve the attack of any club he joins.
The striker has reinvented the role of false nine and can also play behind a front man, which could make him Dusan Vlahovic’s best partner.
