Breaking News: Roberto Firmino Has Terminates His Contract With Al-Ahli Saudi Going Back To…………………….read more.
He stated, “The final straw was a match against Wolves, where I came on as a substitute in the last minute. That moment made me realize everything.
“As we say in Brazil, the penny dropped. I understood what was happening. I contacted my agents, Roger Wittmann and Christian Rapp, and we arranged to meet in person.
“We left the living room and went to my bedroom: just the four of us—Christian, Roger, Larissa, and me—without any distractions.
“Christian and Roger were completely open about the situation and the club’s perspective on my future.
“It wasn’t a battle; it was simply a difference in how we understood what I could contribute to Liverpool. After a lot of reflection, I recognized that God’s plan was to lead me elsewhere.
“The signs had been present since my conversation with Pastor Daniel in Maceio. I had been stubborn.
“God didn’t want me to stay at Liverpool, but I was resistant. I finally realized I couldn’t ignore it any longer; it was time to accept it.
“I decided it was time to pursue a new challenge and purpose. My chapter at Liverpool was over.”
The match he referred to was a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Anfield in March 2023.
Virgil van Dijk scored the first goal with a header in the 73rd minute, followed by Mo Salah’s quick second goal.
That night, with Mane having left the previous summer, Klopp fielded a front three of Salah, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez.
Klopp chose not to bring Firmino on as his team sought the first goal and even opted to substitute in Cody Gakpo after taking the lead.
Firmino finally entered the game in the 89th minute, replacing Nunez for the final moments.
The following week, he came on for 11 minutes, scoring one goal and assisting another in the 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United.
The Anfield legend went on to start just two more matches for the club.
