Firmino leaves Saudi Arabia and what would have to happen for him to return to Liverpool

Roberto Firmino's adventure in Saudi Arabia has lasted barely five months as, according to various reports, the Brazilian does not want to continue with Al-Ahli and is looking to cut his contract to continue his career elsewhere to regain the prominence he had when he was one of Liverpool's stars and won every trophy possible under German coach Jurgen Klopp.

The Brazilian striker had signed until 2026, after spending the last eight seasons at Liverpool. Although his aim was to stay in Europe and he was even speculated as a possible signing by major clubs, Firmino preferred to embark on a new professional adventure that was not what he had hoped for and is now looking to leave at any cost.

The 31-year-old Brazilian left Liverpool after eight seasons in the Premier League. A free agent, he was even rumoured to replace Benzema at Real Madrid. He will now be the Frenchman's rival at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. Firmino played for Al-Ahli with former Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy. Fernando, of Sevilla, and Mahrez, of Manchester City, at the Saudi club that is one of the four most popular in the country.

Bobby's bad form

Firmino has had a very poor six months in Saudi Arabia, despite being the captain and wearing the number 10 shirt, he has played in 16 games and has only scored on three occasions and provided two assists. In 2015, Liverpool paid 28 million to sign him, but now due to his age and low level, his value has dropped to 10 million, so if Klopp grants the fans' wish to see him back at Anfield, he would have to pay that amount or go on loan while Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations.
