Firmino: The GloriousLiverpoolJourney Nears its єɴԀ
A player of Roberto Firmino’s calibre, bidding adieu to his illustrious eight-year tenure atLiverpool, makes for quite the stir.

The coveted spot is currently occupied by the Parisian superstar, Kylian Mbappe.Los Blancosare quite keen to sign the French international, whose current contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to run out next year. Despite his recent dismissal of the rumours linking him to Madrid, Mbappe remains their top contєɴԀer.
