Fabrizio Romano dismisses 'Roberto Firmino to Barcelona' claims as La Liga club's "priorities" revealed

Fabrizio Romano gave a major update on the future of Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.

On Saturday morning the Mail Online claimed that Firmino, who is out of contract at the end of the season, had agreed to join La Liga giants Barcelona.

However transfer guru Romano dismissed such suggestions, insisting that nothing was agreed between Firmino or Barcelona at this stage.

The journalist tweeted: "Understand there’s nothing agreed or signed between Roberto Firmino and Barcelona at this stage. #FCB

"It’s not even advanced deal — just name discussed internally. Barça priorities are Iñigo, Gündogan, of course Messi.

"Firmino, still exploring options — no decision made yet."

Firmino's future unclear

Despite Liverpool's best attempts to retain the Brazilian, Firmino will bring to a close his glittering eight-year stay at Anfield at the end of the season.

While the 31-year-old is no longer a regular starter in Jurgen Klopp’s team, he has been central to the club's Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup triumphs since his £29million move from Hoffenheim in 2015.

Indeed, Klopp made it clear last month that he would have liked to keep the forward, however the Brazilian is thought to be keen on a new challenge.

Firmino has suffered a hamstring injury and will miss the next three Liverpool games, but Klopp remains hopeful he can play a part before the end of the campaign.

The fan favourite, who has scored 109 goals in his 360 Liverpool appearances, can expect an emotional farewell on the final home game of the season against Aston Villa on May 20.
