AC Milan now lead the race to sign Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino at the end of the season, according to Calciomercato.
As per the report, three Serie A giants – also including Inter Milan and Juventus – are keen to sign the forward upon the expiry of his Reds contract.
The 31-year-old has decided not to renew at Anfield, so he will be leaving the club after spending eight years on Merseyside.
And according to the Italian outlet, AC Milan are currently the front-runners to secure his services.
Firmino will thus leave the club in July.
AC Milan leading race for Fimino
Having arrived at Anfield in 2015 in a deal worth £29m, Firmino has gone on to become a club legend for the Reds.
During his eight years on Merseyside, the Brazilian has incredibly amassed 360 appearances – during which he has bagged 109 goals and 79 assists.
He played a huge part in Jurgen Klopp’s front line, ultimately revolutionising the false-nine role.
However, now 31 years old, Firmino knows it’s the right time to end his chapter at Liverpool.
The Reds now have the likes of Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz at their disposal, so the Brazil international has wisely opted to leave at the end of the season in pursuit of other opportunities.
