Fed up of Saudi football, Bobby Firmino has 3 potential destinations to leave Al Ahli

The player will evaluate his options to exit in the next few weeks

Liverpool legend Bobby Firmino is considering to leave Saudi football in the January market window.

Liverpool former player Bobby Firmino could be close to surprise the football fans in the next few weeks with a shocking decision, as according to the media he would have already decided to leave the Saudi football, where he had a great start but he wouldn’t have felt as well as he imagined in the summer when he joined Al Ahli.

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that the project of the Saudi club, one of the clubs from the Big Four of the Saudi league including them alongside Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, started with great summer signings from the Premier League such as Manchester City former player Riyad Mahrez, Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy, and Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin, but things wouldn’t have evolved as well as expected by Firmino in the tournament.

In this respect, despite being placed in the third position of the league with his team, Firmino wouldn’t be comfortable at the team, where he hasn’t scored again since his first game with the Saudi club, remaining scoreless for 16 games in the last four months of competition.

He'd be thinking about leaving Saudi football

For that reason, Firmino would be aiming to find a new destination out of Saudi football, where he hasn’t found himself professionally or personally, and he would have already received an offer from Sheffield United, while he has also been linked with a potential return to Brazil to sign for Vasco da Gama or Corinthians, whose fans have started claiming on the media for his arrival.
