Real Madrid keep tabs on Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino?

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Real Madrid.

Spanish outlet Todofichajes as cited by The Mirror claims that the Brazil international has now been added to Madrid’s wishlist, and that the Reds could consider letting the winger leave.

The Spanish champions did not spend a single penny during the summer transfer window but are thought to be gearing up for a busy summer in 2021, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga and Erling Braut Haaland among the players thought to be on their radar.

Firmino, who has a deal at Anfield until 2023, is willing to a fresh start after winning almost everything during his five years on Merseyside.

The Premier League champions could look to cash in on the 29-year-old Brazilian amid speculation that they could also bring in a replacement name next summer, with Mbappe is said to be linked with a move to the Merseyside giants.

Firmino has contributed 79 goals and 62 assists in 252 appearances for the Reds since joining back in 2015.
