He joined Liverpool from Hoffenheim in 2015

Brazil forward Roberto Firmino will leave six-times European club champions Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 31-year-old has been with the Reds since joining them in a $34.8m deal from German club Hoffenheim in June 2015.

He has made 353 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 107 goals and providing 70 assists.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had said he wanted Firmino to stay with the club and, while the player had been in discussions over a new contract, he has chosen to move on.

The Brazilian’s playing time has been limited recently due to muscle injuries and the arrivals of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo.

Firmino, who missed out on Brazil’s squad for the World Cup last year, has made 26 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring nine goals and providing four assists.
