Despite the offer from Real Madrid, the Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino decided on a financially more attractive one from Al Ahli, so the Brazilian continued on the path of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and other footballers who accepted a rich offer from the Middle East.
After yesterday’s signing of Edouard Mendy from Chelsea, Al Ahli secured a new reinforcement, so the new striker of the Saudi club will be Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian was a target of Real Madrid for a long time, it looked as if the transfer was close to being realized, but despite assurances from his teammates from the national team to move to the “Royal Club“, nothing would come of it.
The former Liverpool player is on his way to Saudi Arabia, where he will sign a contract with Al Ahli.
Firmino has been playing in Liverpool since 2015, and after his contract expired this summer, he decided to change the environment after eight years.
The 31-year-old striker played 362 games for the Anfield club and scored 111 goals and 79 assists.
