The 32-year-old forward, who now starts from the bench, is said to be dissatisfied with his current situation and wants to leave Al Ahli, but according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, this is only speculation and he will stay in the Saudi Professional League this winter. He assured that he will stay in the Saudi Professional League this winter.
“Roberto Firmino, not planning to leave Al Ahli in the January transfer window despite recent reports.”
“Very clear message from his camp: he’s set to stay at Al Ahli. No changes expected.”
