After spending eight years in Liverpool, Roberto Firmino is ready to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, and Barcelona is looking like his next destination.
No doubt, Firmino will be highly missed in Liverpool, seeing his immense contribution to the club, However, even though Firmino is to leave at the end of the season, Jurgen Klopp already has a suitable replacement for Firmino.
According to Klopp, Cody Gakpo is a suitable replacement, as he has been handling a lot of responsibilities even before he moved to Liverpool, so definitely Cody Gakpo can play Firmino’s position.
Klopp: “Cody Gakpo was PSV captain – I had no clue how that happens that early, he’s 23… I thought: he’s super-smart kid, really open and a real team player”. #LFC
“On top of that, a really good footballer. He can play this position, can play wide, can play center”.
Although Jurgen Klopp, cannot deny the fact that no one can replace Firmino in the club, he has a reserve for good players, that can take up the position of another.
