Liverpool can sign the next Roberto Firmino for just \u20ac30m. <\/p>\n
The Brazilian forward will is one of the best attackers to have played for the club. Firmino was a true fan favourite. He made us sit on the edge of our seats and he did things that were simply outrageous. <\/p>\n

He scored a myriad of goals in the process and won even more trophies, contributing to the most successful period of the club’s history in the modern era. <\/p>\n
There is no question he is a club icon, perhaps even a legend. <\/p>\n
Firmino was the kind of player you just always wanted to play and be on the team. On the ball, he was a magician and his selfless work-rate made everyone of his teammates better. <\/p>\n
It’s fair to say that not until Hugo Ekitike has come along, has it felt like that Liverpool have truly replaced him. The Frenchman is a worthy candidate for the no.9 role at last. But he may soon have competition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There’s another Firmino developing in Spain who is actually related to the former Liverpool forward.<\/p>\n
Let’s introduce you to Selton Sanchez. He’s an 18-year-old attacking midfielder playing for Athletic Bilbao and pulling off outrageous rabona through-balls like this on his La Liga debut<\/a>.<\/p>\n The youngster captains the U19 team, where he recently played a key role in beating Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Youth League scoring a goal and registering two assists in a 4-1 victory.<\/p>\n Sanchez also made his debut for Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League, coming on to play around 20 minutes against Newcastle United.<\/p>\n He made a no-look pass in the UEFA Youth League that was very quintessentially Firmino<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n There’s a reason why the playing style and the resemblance is so uncanny. It’s because Sanchez is Firmino’s cousin.<\/p>\n Given his impressive start and the way he plays, he is a player Liverpool should absolutely monitor. Like Firmino, Sanchez has started out as an attacking midfielder but there is no reason why he can’t follow in his uncle’s footsteps and become a forward, perhaps even sign for Liverpool.<\/p>\n The club’s scouts will undoubtedly be watching him.<\/p>\n Michael Edwards will be too. After all his favourite player at Liverpool was actually Firmino. So surely signing the Brazilian’s cousin who has the same flair and exciting style of play is something that he will be very interested in doing.<\/p>\n Liverpool have a golden chance to pull the trigger for this deal, too.<\/p>\n According to Spanish journalist Diego Cobo<\/a>, Sanchez’s release clause in his current Athletic Bilbao contract is just \u20ac30m, which would make him an absolute bargain. It’s roughly \u00a326.5m, a paltry sum for a club like Liverpool to pay in the modern age.<\/p>\n This is the kind of scenario you can only dream of. Sanchez is an actual regen. And he belongs at Anfield.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34 Shop the LFC 2025\/26 adidas home range<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Liverpool have a NEW right-back and he’s the best in the world <\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Marc Guehi is COMING: Liverpool will agree deal to sign England star<\/a><\/p>\n
