How should Liverpool react to Bobby Firmino exit?
There will be many reasonably wondering whether Liverpool should make room for a forward signing this summer in light of the departure of a genuine modern great.
The signs have been rather positive, however, with regards to January addition Cody Gakpo’s performances, which have more than shown an ability to pluck the strings up top in a manner not too dissimilar to how Firmino had for the better part of a decade.
In that sense, we’d be surprised to see the club do anything but stay the current course in pursuit of midfield reinforcements.
