Roberto Firmino would be a perfect buy for Barcelona says pundit

Firmino has scored just nine goals in 26 Premier League appearances so far this season. He also has provided four assists and ESPN pundit Paul Mariner is convinced the Brazilian would suit Barcelona tactics.
Mariner was asked who Barca should look to sign as their next centre-forward. And the former Arsenal man distinctly point out the Brazilian forward, admitting it would be a blow for Liverpool fans to lose him.
Mariner said: "The way that they [Barcelona] play, Firmino. I know it will upset all the Liverpool fans.
"Look at what he does, look at the link ups. He's fantastic.
"Firmino for me does it all. He's tremendous."
The Liverpool forward has a £75million market tag but the Reds may demand more with four years left in his new contract extension.
Both Barcelona and Bayern Munich have shown interest on the player in the past and are be set to reignite their chase in the summer.
