Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he was "surprised" by Roberto Firmino's decision to leave the club at the end of the season.
The Brazil international informed the club last week that he wanted to end his eight-year spell at Anfield when his contract expires in June.
Firmino received a huge ovation by the Liverpool fans when he was brought on and scored the final goal in the 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United on Sunday.
When asked about the striker's decision in Friday's news conference, Klopp replied: "Surprised, yes. A little bit.
"But I respect that a lot. It's completely normal in this kind of long relationship what we have and what Bobby has with the club, the fans -- it's pretty special.
