Saudi club Al-Ahli in talks with former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino
Roberto Firmino, who confirmed his departure from Liverpool after eight wonderful seasons, might be on his way to the Middle East, as Saudi club Al-Ahli are in talks with the 31-year-old Brazilian international.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano via Twitter. He indicates that Firmino currently remains engaged in talks with Al-Ahli, with negotiations actively taking place. It has been approximately three months since Firmino confirmed his departure from Liverpool, and it seems his future destination is becoming clearer.
He also revealed that Al-Ahli is preparing for medical tests in anticipation of Firmino’s potential move. This indicates the seriousness of the Saudi club’s interest in securing Bobby’s signature.

Firmino’s departure from Liverpool would surely mark the end of an era. Over the years, he has been an integral part of the team’s success, contributing immensely to their Premier League and UEFA Champions League triumphs.
Bobby to Saudi?
Firmino’s unique style of play, combining skill, selflessness, and an incredible work rate, has certainly made him a fan favourite at Anfield. His ability to create opportunities for his teammates and play a vital role in Liverpool’s attacking system will surely be missed.
However, every transfer decision comes with its own set of considerations. Firmino’s potential move to Al-Ahli presents an opportunity for the forward to embark on a new chapter in his career and explore a different footballing landscape.
From Liverpool’s perspective, the departure of Firmino necessitates a reassessment of their attacking options and squad dynamics. The club boasts remarkable attacking talent who can step up to fill the void left by Firmino’s departure.
While Firmino’s potential exit will undoubtedly be felt, it also provides an opportunity for Liverpool to adapt and evolve their attacking strategy which already is in the works with Cody Gakpo making that Firmino role his own.
