Juventus raised asking price for Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino

This summer, Juventus is attempting to recruit Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.

The Italian giants are looking for a forward to replace Alvaro Morata, who has left the club.

According to TuttoJuve, the club made an initial bid of £19.5 million for the Brazilian.

However, Liverpool did not respond positively, prompting Juve to increase their offer.

The Liverpool club has no desire to sell Firmino after losing Sadio Mane this summer.

Juve, on the other hand, is adamant, and may try to make an offer that the club cannot refuse.

Last season, Firmino was plagued by injuries.

In 35 appearances across competitions, the 30-year-old attacker managed only 11 goals and five assists.

In a 5-0 triumph over Watford in October, the Brazilian scored three goals.
