After six months, Roberto Firmino is “ready to quit” the Saudi team; a return to Liverpool is a transfer option.

Liverpool lost Roberto Firmino in the summer transfer window.

After just six months in Saudi Arabia, Roberto Firmino’s time there may be coming to an end. In January, it was claimed that the former Liverpool forward was “ready to leave” Al-Ahli.

Firmino scored three goals in his first league game for his new team, setting himself up for success. However, he failed to score in his next nine league games and has since only been used as a substitute.

Since the 32-year-old led Al-Ahli in each of the first ten Saudi Pro League games, Firmino’s current lack of playing time and forced transition to cameo roles has undoubtedly shocked many.

It’s known that the 2019 Champions League champion is unhappy with his present circumstances and plans to seek a change when the transfer market opens the following week. According to Football365, the Brazilian would much rather play in his native Brazil or return to Europe.

Al-Fateh and Al-Ettifaq are both interested in a deal, so staying in Saudi Arabia would be an option if the Liverpool legend decides to alter his mind, according to a Daily Mirror story. Naturally, Steven Gerrard oversees the latter, having already added Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson, two former Reds, to his team.

Gerrard recently made the following statement regarding the possibility of signing Firmino to his team: “I obviously know Bobby extremely well, I’ve been a massive fan.” He’s been my follower for years. Since he currently plays for Al-Ahli, I find it extremely difficult to offer commentary on that matter. However, I’ve been a tremendous fan of Bobby Firmino since the day I first saw him.”

After 18 games, Al-Ettifaq is 26 points behind league leaders Al-Hilal due to their slow start to the Saudi Pro League season.
