It is not news that Saudi Arabian teams are investing big money to bring in quality players from Europe this summer. This is also the example of Roberto Firmino, who after leaving Liverpool chose Saudi Arabia.

Roberto Firmino has signed a contract with Al Ahly

Having reached the age of 31, Roberto Firmino has decided to part ways with Liverpool at the end of the season.

The star, who united in the attack of “cormorants” with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, received numerous offers from European football.

Barcelona or Juventus have been in talks with the Brazilian’s coach in an attempt to convince him to sign, but the Saudi Arabian teams have dealt another major image blow.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano writes that Roberto Firmino has signed as a free agent from Al Ahli, the Saudi Arabian club that also signed Eduard Mendy from Chelsea.

Priced at 18 million euros according to Transfermarkt, Firmino will compete in the next 3 seasons with players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo Brozovic, Karim Benzema or N’Golo Kante, players he also met in European football.
