The Athletic could count on the services of the Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino, thanks to the new talent he has found Klopp at Red Bull Salzburg. The German Mister at the service of Liverpool FC, has asked the sports management, the signing of the boy of only 19 years. At the same time, the candidate to leave the English squad is precisely the Rio striker.
The promise that makes the manager of the English club sigh is Karim Adeyemi. The German has shone with his own light since last season in the teutonic club, and at present its performance has continued to rise. There are already several teams that have fixed their eyes on him, but the network team wants to take the definitive step that ends with their signing.
The English club knows that if they want the signing of the young German, they need a good budget, because Red Bull will not let him go so easy and so cheap. At the moment the boy has 3 more years of contract and a base price of 20 million euros, which can easily be converted into 40 kilos or more.
For this they will need to sell one of the most valuable players in the squad, but at the same time not alter Klopp’s tactical scheme. That player is Roberto Firmino, who has already been tested by several clubs in Europe, and one of those who asked the most in the summer market that happened was Atlético. So the English box has put it back on the showcase, to wait for a good offer for it.
The Brazilian striker has a base price of 50 million euros, but Liverpool FC’s sporting direction is flexible, and will let him go for 40 kilos. The operation is not simple, but it is perfectly manageable by the mattress box. The really difficult thing is to decide if they are going to go for Firmino, or finally they will go for Robert Lewandowski.
If the decision is to sign the former Hoffenheim, Atlético must first get rid of Saponjic and sell one or another player, to finance the signing. Among those classified to go out in the next winter or summer market, are the Portuguese Joao Félix, for which they could receive up to 70 million euros.
