Firmino moved to Al Ahli as a free agent this summer and signed a contract until 2026. Firmino was in the spotlight when he moved to Al Ahli and kicked a hat trick in the opening game.
Al Ahli is also willing to sell or lease Firmino. In fact, several Premier League clubs, including Marco Silva’s Fulham, have expressed interest in Firmino in the January transfer market.
However, it will not be easy for Firmino to return to the Premier League. Firmino who has accumulated experience in winning the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup in Liverpool, but few clubs will be able to afford to pay his weekly wage.
