The Brazilian forward is in talks to terminate his contract with the Saudi club as he seeks a new destination in the transfer market.
Roberto Firmino is reportedly negotiating an early contract termination with Al-Ahli, aiming to secure free-agent status before the transfer window closes. According to RTI Esporte, the former Liverpool star is willing to forgo financial compensation in order to accelerate his departure and find a new club immediately.
Liverpool, Corinthians, or Flamengo?
Despite speculation linking him to a return to Liverpool, there has been no official contact from the Premier League giants. Firmino dreams of returning to European football, but his immediate options remain unclear.
In Brazil, Corinthians has been linked with a move for the 32-year-old striker, but the club’s financial struggles make a deal unlikely. Meanwhile, Flamengo is also monitoring the situation, with José Boto prepared to resume negotiations once Firmino’s contract is officially terminated.
Could Arsenal be the frontrunner?
There have been rumors that Arsenal is interested in signing Firmino, but his representatives have denied any ongoing discussions. However, a key factor in his decision could be the desire of his wife, Larissa Pereira, to return to England, which may influence his next move.
With Firmino pushing for an immediate release, the coming days will determine his next destination.
