Liverpool already have an awesome replacement in mind for Roberto Firmino who intends to leave Anfield this summer.
Lautaro Martinez, a forward for Inter Milan, is a player who Klopp’s team is interested in, according to Calcio Mercato.
Over the past few seasons, the Argentine has frequently been mentioned in connection with a transfer to the Premier League.
He was thought to be a target for Arsenal and Spurs last summer. This year, Liverpool has been mentioned in connection with the 24-year-old.
And it’s simple to see why so many elite clubs in Europe have Martinez on their radar.
Over the past two seasons, the Inter Milan player has assisted on 47 Serie A goals, winning a Scudetto in the process.
Before Romelu Lukaku’s disastrous transfer to Chelsea, he helped forge a terrifying attacking partnership with the Belgian, and he did even better last season without him.
They are completely dissimilar forwards in terms of style. Martinez and new Liverpool forward Darwin Nuez share similar genetics.
He is a striker who excels when he slips past defenses and causes trouble in the penalty area.
On the other hand, Roberto Firmino functions more like a false nine. To assist the goal-scoring of the forwards on either side of him, he tends to drop deep.
If Liverpool lost Roberto Firmino this summer, one may assume the club would want to replace him with a player who has some of his traits.
Who is Lautaro Martinez?
Lautaro Javier Martnez is an Argentine striker that competes professionally for both the Argentina national team and Serie A club Inter Milan. Martnez started playing football in his home country of Argentina, where he made his senior debut with Racing Club in 2015.
Lautaro has demonstrated success as a striker and a number 10. He is still quick and adaptable if he uses his right foot, and he is especially impressive when trying to keep possession in a tight space or time frame.
Firmino wants to leave Liverpool, but why?
According to reports, Juventus forward Roberto Firmino’s deal from Liverpool is “nearly” finalized. Since 2015, the Brazilian attacker has called Anfield home.
The seven years Roberto Firmino spent at Liverpool show how far the team has come.
Since his transfer from Hoffenheim to Liverpool in 2015, the Brazilian has been crucial to the Reds’ success. He has assisted them in winning the FA Cup, Super Cup, Club World Cup, Premier League, Champions League, and other competitions.
In 327 games for the Merseyside club, Firmino has 98 goals and 74 assists. Sadio Mane joining Bayern Munich this summer made most Liverpool supporters feel as though an era has come to an end. However, they may rejoice that Mohamed Salah has shown his allegiance to the team by signing a new contract.
The team of Jurgen Klopp has also acquired Darwin Nunez from Benfica. Nunez’s entry into the team may be a significant reason why it may be time for him to move on, as his playing time may be constrained.
In comparison to his previous seasons at the club, where he averaged 30 league matches, Firmino made just 20 Premier League appearances last year.
