Juventus Suffer Transfer Blow as Liverpool Target Firmino Insists He is Happy at the Club
Juventus have been dealt a huge transfer blow after Brazilian striker, Roberto Firmino insisted that he is happy at Liverpool
The Brazilian had become one of Juventus’ main transfer target in the last few days as they look to add a new striker to the team in a bid to strengthen the squad.
The Bianconeri have to replace Alvaro Morata, who doesn’t seem to be returning to the Allianz Stadium.
They have been signing very young players in recent transfer windows, but for this role, Max Allegri specifically wants an experienced player.
The gaffer was keen to work with Firmino, who has established himself as one of the finest players in the world in the last few years.
He has just a year left on his current Liverpool deal, but the Reds still see him as a key member of their team, and he loves to play for them.
Speaking about his future, he said as quoted by Tuttojuve:
“I am very happy here in Liverpool. I am grateful to God to be here to play for a great club with great players, and to win titles. And my will is to stay. My wish is to stay here. I want to stay here, I am happy here. So that’s all I can say, I want to stay.”
Juventus FC Responds
In a response published on its website, the Italian side still consider him the club’s perfect signing.
“Firmino would be the perfect signing for us, but the Brazilian clearly loves playing and staying in Liverpool.
Although he is no longer guaranteed regular playing time, he is still keen to stay there.
It is hard to convince this type of player to join your team.”
