Kluivert urges Barcelona to move for Liverpool veteran Firmino

Former Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert says they should move for Liverpool veteran Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian will leave Liverpool when his contract expires in June.

Kluivert says Barca should try for Firmino and Benfica centre-forward Goncalo Ramos to boost their attack.

He told Mundo Deportivo, "Financial Fair Play is a factor to take into account, but what is on the wish list? It definitely has to be a striker. After (Robert) Lewandowski, you need someone like Gonçalo Ramos.

"I really like that player and he has done a very good job for the Portuguese national team and also in Benfica.

"I think Firmino would also be a very interesting player in Barcelona. A striker is what is needed to strengthen Barcelona. The rest would be fine if everyone stayed."
