Roberto Firmino has £82m release clause... but Arsenal cannot sign him, claim Football Leaks

Any club but Arsenal can trigger Roberto Firmino’s alleged £82million release clause at Liverpool, according to the Football Leaks website.

The forward has been a standout performer for Jurgen Klopp this season with six goals as the Reds sit third in the Premier League.

There will be admirers of the Brazilian in future transfer windows but Football Leaks claimed that Arsenal are prohibited from signing him. Liverpool do not comment on issues of a legal nature.
