From LFC Globe: "Dare I say, it's due to the transfer committee's role being diminished to negotiating first and foremost. Allows a quicker process in getting the player, rather than the 'majority vote' system that was in place before." More about the deal: If Firmino needs any assurances about his place in the squad. Rodgers has personally offered to do so. He wants a move to the Premier League, LFC are the club that have shown most intent so we'd imagine he is keen to join, although no info.
