Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has reportedly decided to sign with Barcelona when his deal with the English giants expires this summer.

Firmino, who joined the Anfield outfit in 2015 from Hoffenheim, has won every domestic trophy, along with the Champions League and Club World Cup, where he scored the winning goal.
