How Roberto Firmino’s Exit Could Lead to Four Difficult Decisions for Liverpool

Roberto Firmino is set to end his eight-year spell at Anfield and leave Liverpool this summer.

His departure will bring about a number of huge squad number decisions for the Reds – here’s a closer look at who may be in contention to fill them.

Shirt numbers seven, eight, nine and ten are all up for grabs, with players like Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Matheus Nunes potential contenders for the numbers.

James Milner could also possibly extend his current contract which would allow him to keep the number seven shirt; whilst Mason Mount rumours continue to circulate and he has previously stated an interest in taking on the classic number ten.

Darwin Nunez wore nine during his time with Benfica, while Jude Bellingham wore eight whilst representing England.

Overall these four huge squad number decisions have plenty of options as they await Liverpool’s announcement.
