Done deal Liverpool signed AC Milan’s midfielder jurgen smile’s 

According to Calciomercato, Roberto Firmino has opted not to extend his contract with Liverpool, making him a free agent this coming summer. Moreover, the 31-year-old has been an important cog for Liverpool. So losing him would be a major setback.

It’s unfortunate to lose a player of Firmino’s calibre as a free agent. How Liverpool adjusts without him remains to be seen. With 12 goals in all competitions this season, the Brazilian international might be a valuable addition to AC Milan.

Firmino will provide goals and creativity to the Serie A club’s attack, which is in desperate need of reinforcements. The Brazilian has the versatility to contribute in a variety of offensive roles for the Italian club.

He has already established himself in Germany and England. Now he wants to take on a new challenge in his career. Maybe he might thrive in a new environment in Italy. He may be able to play at a high level for a longer period of time in Serie A due to the league’s lesser intensity.

Firmino will be leaving Liverpool at the conclusion of the current season

Milan is undeniably one of the world’s most famous football teams. Moreover, it’s possible that Firmino might be interested in joining them. The Brazilian, who has won every club championship there is, is moving to Italy in the hopes of making his impact on the league there.

The Serie A powerhouses may have made a huge mistake if they didn’t sign him when they had the chance to do so for free. This year was not a banner one for AC Milan, but next year they want to be back among the league’s championship contenders. It’s hardly shocking that they’ve reached out to the 31-year-old Liverpool veteran.

Firmino, a proven winner, will be a great addition to their team. Firmino is not just a talented player. However, he also has strong leadership skills that can benefit Milan. There have been rumours that Divock Origi may leave in the summer. It’s possible that his successor at San Siro will be his old colleague from Liverpool.

Liverpool might pursue Dominik Szoboszlai, claims Daniel Nielson. There will be plenty of suitors for the £45 million-rated Bundesliga star this summer. However, he will not be leaving RB Leipzig voluntarily. When Dominik Szoboszlai moved to RB Leipzig from RB Salzburg in January 2021, he was immediately heralded as a potential superstar. As a result of his team’s outstanding play in the league and Europe, his star continues to grow.

Moreover, his 22 goals and assists this season have gotten the attention of several big clubs. If they are unable to reach terms with their top targets, Chelsea and Newcastle United might be potential suitors. So, Newcastle United may make James Maddison a primary aim. The Magpies may miss out if they don’t want to go into a bidding battle for the Leicester player. Szoboszlai may replace them if it happens.

The Liverpool manager acknowledged that “we didn’t deliver” but rattled off reasons for optimism at Anfield the morning after Manchester United’s victory over Chelsea doomed his team to fifth place and a spot in the second-tier Europe League next season.

Missing out on Champions League money hurts, the German said Friday.

“But besides that, we have European nights next year. Instead of Tuesday-Wednesday, it’s a Thursday, who cares,” Klopp said ahead of Sunday’s Premier League season finale at Southampton.

United’s 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday ended top-four hopes for Liverpool, which had played in the Champions League six consecutive years, winning the title in 2019 and reaching the final two other times including last year.

“We didn’t deliver what everybody wanted and everybody expected, rightly so, but we are still really united and that’s the good thing about it,” Klopp said. “If you can go through difficult moments like we did in the last year, I think that’s a really good basis for a better future. So I find a lot of reasons for an optimistic view.”

Liverpool’s top scorer this season turned to social media Thursday night while United fans were still celebrating their Champions League qualification at Old Trafford.

“I’m totally devastated,” the Egypt international’s post said. “There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it’s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down.”

The Merseyside club took last year’s Premier League title race to the final day before finishing second to Manchester City. Liverpool struggled for much of this season but the current 10-game unbeaten streak, Klopp said, shows the “trust and faith that we have … it’s a super basis.”

The manager said he had no issues with Salah’s message.

“In the world of social media, so many bad things happen constantly, I don’t think that was one of them,” he said. “In that moment right after the game, he’s right, that’s not immediately a moment to send any optimistic messages, but maybe an hour, a day later.

“I saw him now in the canteen and he was smiling. I don’t know for which reason, didn’t ask him, but he was not in a bad mood.”
