Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has reiterated his desire to stay at Anfield, with his contract coming to an end in the summer.
Firmino has unsurprisingly been the subject of interest from plenty of clubs, but Jurgen Klopp has always stated his desire is to keep the Brazilian at Liverpool beyond the summer.
Talks are reported to have taken place with Firmino and the club about a new contract with a resolution yet to be reached. Firmino had been tipped to move to Saudi Arabia, joining Cristiano Ronaldo.

After missing out on Brazil's squad for the World Cup despite his fine scoring form this term, Firmino has confirmed he intends to carry on playing football at the highest level.
"It’s incredible playing high-level football here with great players, stars of the game,” Firmino told the official Liverpool magazine. “I’m happy here and I intend to stay here and help Liverpool FC. It’s a dream for all players to win the Premier League and Champions League.
"It’s history, a huge legacy. When it happened, we felt tremendously privileged, grateful to God for having given this to us."
Asked about Firmino's future at his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea this weekend, Klopp told reporters: "There is no reason to give too detailed information but when you think a bit, where could it hang? It could be the time, it could be the money or these kinds of things, but it is completely normal.
"Bobby knows the situation here and what we think of him, that's clear. And there is nothing else to say, there is no problem or whatever, it is just the situation. I can't see any kind of problems there.
"He was [so important], he is. I think in the first part of the season we were not flying but Bobby was the only one who played a pretty good season. He was probably the only one who played a kind of normal season in a lot of games, at least."
