In difficulty at Al-Ahli, Roberto Firmino could be loaned this winter. If the Brazilian striker would not rule out a return to Europe or Brazil, Al-Shabab, another Saudi club, would be holding the rope to recover the former Liverpool player.
Arriving at Ah-Ahli last summer, Roberto Firmino could already have a change of scenery this winter. Not really successful in his new environment, the Brazilian striker would have suitors for the winter transfer window as reported by talkSport. A loan would be considered to revive it in the coming days.
Author of a hat-trick for his first match in the Saudi championship on August 11, Roberto Firmino has not found the net since. The 32-year-old has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season. Obviously frustrated by the playing system, the former Liverpool player also experienced family drama in mid-November with the death of his father.
Relaunched by another Saudi club?
Last in the Premier League with 9 points, Sheffield United have recently monitored the situation of Roberto Firmino. But the appointment at the beginning of December of coach Chris Wilder, replacing Paul Heckingbottom, would now make this interest uncertain.
The Brazilian international (55 caps) would still have other options, starting with Saudi Arabia with three tracks: Al-Shabab, Al-Ettifaq and Al-Fateh. The first club mentioned would be favored by Al-Ahli for a loan because the Saudi team would be able to take a good part of the salary. Al-Ettifaq has a great asset on its side with Steven Gerrard on the bench.
Under contract until June 2026, Roberto Firmino would also appear in the sights of a Turkish team whose identity has not been filtered. Ideally, Al-Ahli would like to keep his player but the main concerned would not rule out a return to Europe or Brazil, he who left his native country in 2010 to join Hoffenheim.
