Roberto Firmino bid an emotional farewell to Anfield last summer after 8 years with the club. He departed on a free to Saudi side Al-Ahli, and got off to the perfect start, scoring a hat-trick on his debut and being named club captain.
However, his goalless drought since then has frustrated both the club and its fans, and it is said that Firmino himself is unhappy in the Middle East. Reports have suggested that Al Ahli are willing to either sell or loan their skipper out for the rest of the season, with Fulham being one of several Premier League sides reportedly offered this chance in January.
Unfortunately, it seems that none of these clubs are willing to pay the £300,000-a-week wages it would take to get him. During his time at Liverpool, Firmino made a total of 362 appearances, producing 111 goals and 79 assists. This period saw the club achieve a number of major honours, including the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
It is certainly a shame that a player of Roberto Firmino's calibre appears to be stuck in a difficult situation. We hope that a solution can be found soon, and that he can rediscover the form that made him such a success during his time with Liverpool.
