Roberto Firmino's contract with Liverpool is still running until 2020, but he is deemed to be worthy of a new contract. So says Juergen Klopp.
Liverpool manager's desire was not separated from the size of Firmino's role for the Reds. The number of 21 goals and 12 assists made Firmino this season is one indicator.
Not to mention the role of 26-year-old player as a front-line peddler who also became the first person in pressing the opponent, according to the desired scheme Klopp game.
"That (new contract) is very important for both sides, I think with everything we do, the way we play, and the way we give him the chance to continue playing, Firmino deserves it," he said as quoted by Mirror.
"He deserved it because of his great hard work, the conditions at this time helped him flourish.Firmino became a completely different player.Other teams can say 'hmmm, he's very good.'But, it's not clear if they can play Firmino in a way that same as player number 9, 10, or even on the wing.No clarity about that. "
"But it's important to keep players in the right age and still be able to grow, and there's no doubt we want to do that (new contract Firmino) .You can imagine we're trying to do it," Klopp said.
