“They’re the best” – Watch Jurgen Klopp picks 3 ‘Roberto Firmino potential transfer options’ as FSG sets to table new bids for the superstars
Roberto Firmino continues to be linked to Juventus. In the event that the Brazilian decides to leave Liverpool after seven years, who are the possibilities FSG is exploring to replace him?
Rumor has it that Roberto Firmino is moving to Juventus or that he is very close to leaving Liverpool.
The Brazilian has been a part of the team for seven years, but in recent weeks, there have been increasingly persistent whispers concerning his future.
In accordance with rumors, Juventus made a proposal for Firmino that was rejected by FSG for roughly £19 million. Firmino will remain at Anfield for another season, according to Jürgen Klopp.
Here are three names who FSG could target to fill the void.
Cunha
Cunha has been a target of Liverpool for some time, and in the summer of 2021, when he was playing for Hertha Berlin, the club was connected with a transfer for the player.

Instead, he joined Atlético Madrid and enjoyed a respectable La Liga year.
Cunha contributed six league goals and six assists, but Atleti was unable to defend their championship.
Cunha, who is only 23 years old, has similar pressing skills to Firmino. In line with FBRef,
Alexander isiak
somebody who has previously been connected to Liverpool. Isak was the talk of the town a year ago following his breakthrough season with Real Sociedad in 2020–21.
In 34 La Liga games that season, Isak scored 17 goals, and it appeared inevitable that he would join a more successful team.
In the end, he stayed, but the previous season wasn’t as strong. He only scored six goals for Sociedad previous season, and talk of a significant transfer elsewhere has subsided.
However, Liverpool should view this lack of interest as a fantastic opportunity to sign him.
Liverpool might make a far lower offer for Isak than they did a year ago now that interest has subsided and are expected to have a strong chance of landing the Swedish player.
Even at age 22, he still has a lot of life left in him, and Anfield might be the spot where he rediscovers his form from 2020 to 21.
In the event that Firmino leaves now, Liverpool, who has been recently linked with a move as a replacement for Firmino in the summer of 2023, might be able to reach an agreement a year earlier.
Terrier
Terrier scored 21 goals in 45 games across all competitions for Rennes last season, which was his best season in Ligue 1.
As they ended a very respectable fourth in the French league, he also made seven assists.
Terrier’s pressing style is quite similar to Firmino’s, as is Cunha’s, and as an added bonus, Terrier can play as either a left winger or a center forward, offering Klopp some flexibility.
The likelihood of his availability may have even increased now that West Ham, who had been heavily linked, has actually signed Gianluca Scamacca.
