Roberto Firmino agrees new long term deal at Liverpool

Brazil forward Roberto Firmino has agreed a new “long-term contract” with Liverpool.

The 26-year-old joined the Reds from Hoffenheim in 2015 and has made 140 appearances, scoring 50 goals.



“It was an easy decision,” he told the club’s website. “The club have taken me in in an incredible way.”

Firmino has scored 27 times this season – the most prolific campaign of his career – as Liverpool have reached the Champions League semi-finals.
