Former Brazilian international Roberto Firmino played for Liverpool until last season, scoring 111 goals and 79 assists in 362 games. His front three, which included Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, was so destructive that he made his mark on Anfield’s history.
He ended his long career at Liverpool and left the team at the end of last season. While interest arrived from Italy and the United States, he chose Saudi Arabia as his new home. He joined Al Ahli and seemed to have a bright future ahead of him, scoring a hat trick in the opening game of the Saudi Professional League.
Since then, however, he has been far from scoring goals and has been left out of the regular lineup more often than not in recent games. His credibility within the team is fading, and the possibility of a move away this winter has suddenly become more and more likely. Al Ettifaq, led by Steven Gerrard, and others have shown interest, while the Premier League has also expressed interest.
According to HITC, Fulham, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United are all interested in the former Liverpool forward. Among them, Fulham is keen on the player and is looking for competition for Raul Jimenez.
With a contract remaining until June 2026, it remains to be seen whether he will leave Saudi Arabia in about six months. It is also not certain that he will make the decision to move to a team that is a direct competitor to Liverpool, as he is a righteous player.
At 31 years old, he is not old yet, and will he get another chance to prove himself on the big stage…?
