Roberto Firmino is now reportedly a real transfer option for Real Madrid this summer, with the Brazilian international set to play his last-ever game for Liverpool today.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 31-year-old attacker is one of four to five forwards Los Blancos are keeping tabs on ahead of the summer window, with Firmino leaving Liverpool as a free agent having announced his departure and said his goodbyes already.
Having been given one of the best send-offs imaginable last weekend, Firmino will today play his last game for Liverpool away to Southampton, where the South American will be hopeful of delivering another big performance to end the season on a high for the Reds.
Interest has been high in Firmino in recent weeks ahead of his free agency, yet Madrid could be the ideal destination for the Liverpool superstar, especially with Carlo Ancelotti’s side in desperate need of a backup option to Karin Benzema next season.
Firmino suits Real Madrid’s mythos and reputation to a tee
Firmino is one of the best attackers Liverpool have ever had in the Premier League era, and with the forward now set for a new chapter in his career, signing for the biggest club in football in Madrid seems like the only logical move for the Brazilian.
Whilst Liverpool’s European rivalry with Los Blancos might make some supporters opposed to such a move, there’s no denying that Firmino is good enough to play with the best in football, and Madrid delivers just that, with the Anfield striker an ideal signing for the Spanish giants.
