With Benzema done, Kante on the way and Aubayang rumoured, it’s fair to say that Saudi Arabia is the new destination for the footballer’s final big pay day…💰
But it’s not always been this way. Here is the history of some of how we got here... 🪡
🇧🇷 Anfield will have a chance to say a fond farewell to “Bobby” Firmino on Saturday!
⚽️ He’s scored 109 goals & assisted 79 times in his 360 games for the Reds.
A modern Liverpool icon.
Some praise from Thierry Henry for Kevin De Bruyne last night 🤯
“I’ve played with a lot of players, played against some of the greatest players, worked with some of the greatest. I think Kevin is the most clever player I have seen in my life.” 🧠
