Recent reports have suggested that Roberto Firmino could make a move to Arsenal if his contract with Al Ahli is terminated. The Saudi Pro League club has recently withdrawn his registration from at least one competition, which has left him ineligible to participate in it. While Firmino remains committed to Al Ahli for now, this action could be a clear indication that he is no longer wanted at the club.
Firmino, an accomplished former Premier League star, has a wealth of experience at the top level. Having won the Premier League and the Champions League with Liverpool, the Brazilian would certainly attract interest from numerous clubs if his contract is cut short. Arsenal, in particular, could be in the market for an attacker, and Firmino could be an excellent option, especially if he becomes a free agent.
Given Arsenal’s need for attacking reinforcements, Firmino would be a valuable addition if he were available on a free transfer. However, the question remains whether Al Ahli would be open to terminating his deal before its official expiry date. According to Fabrizio Romano, speaking to Give Me Sport, “He’s still not leaving Al Ahli now, as the Saudi club insists on continuing until the summer as they can use him in the Asian Champions League. Let’s see what happens if they change their stance.”
Firmino showed terrific form during his time at Liverpool, where he was instrumental in their successes, particularly in the Premier League and European competitions. While he still possesses quality, Arsenal may be looking for a younger, more dynamic option to strengthen their attacking line. Whether Firmino’s situation will lead to a move to the Emirates remains uncertain, but if he does become available, he will undoubtedly be a player many clubs would consider.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Not sure if I like this one, the Brazilian has been a thorn in our side over the years, the former Liverpool man has a fantastic record against us, scored many goals in the process may have only suffered quarter dozen defeat wmin approximately some 18 head to head encounter, impressive indeed.
But Firmino is well beyond his peak years, hopefully the Saudi club stands their grounds and let this one pass.
We could certainly do with Firmino, if he becomes available. Given the state of our forward line, an experienced attacker like Firmino can see us through the season.
He is a Liverpool, right? Then you expect him to come to our team and try to win games to bring down Liverpool?
It doesn’t make sense to recruit a mercenary!!!
As an emergency short-term fix, it might work for us. But Firmino is not the solution.
Slightly OT, given his connection with Liverpool, a good result for us last night.
I see Nunez miss heard Slot before last nights game. Slot said to him that he should try to perform to the levels that could win him the Ballon’DOR.
But as you saw last night, Nunez is still trying to hit that Barn Door. 😂🤣😉👍
Arsenal should reject this; I don’t see any logic behind it. Rejected players don’t benefit Arsenal, we have seen it.
