Yes, he asked me and I hope he can come, but I know he has other proposals
“Yes, he asked me and I hope he can come, but I know he has other proposals,” Firmino was quoted as saying by Mediaset journalist Andersinho Marques when asked about Alisson.
However, Liverpool will need to splash the cash if they are to prise the 25-year-old away from Serie A.

“In order for a player to leave, there have to be three elements in place – an offer, a yes from the club and from the player,” he said.
