Roberto Firmino is leaving Liverpool with his head high, having contributed massively to the club’s success during his eight years stint at Merseyside.

He also has his head down with emotions and his eyes filled with tears as he said his final goodbye to the Anfield fans last week and is spending his final days in the community, which has been his home for eight years.

The Brazilian was one of Jurgen Klopp’s earlier signings that kickstarted the era, but also one of those to make way for a new generation to come in at the club.

According to ESPN, he scored 110 goals and racked up 79 assists in 361 appearances in all competitions for the Merseyside club. He won six major trophies, including the UEFA Champions League and Premier League which was Liverpool’s first in 30 years.

Firmino’s gift to Liverpool family

According to Sky Sports Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg on Twitter, the forward gave out 200 custom gifts to his teammates, staff, friends and family at a party hosted on Sunday.

The Sun confirmed the contents of the personalised gifts - a signed Liverpool shirt, ''With Love Bobby'' stitched in front and ''Si Senor'' on the neck, the song the Reds' supporters sang for him at Anfield.

Also contained in the package was a frame of the timeline of his achievements at Liverpool and his perfume branded ''FIRMINO''.

A decision is yet to be made on his next club with Roma, Barcelona, and an unnamed Saudi club said to be interested in the services of the 31-year-old.
