Arsenal could be able to sign former Liverpool star soon. The player can become free agent and hence Gunners can land him until the end of the season.
The star in question here is Roberto Firmino of Al Ahly. He joined the Saudi club in 2023 after spending 8 long years with Liverpool. In that time, the Brazilian won all the trophies one can on the club level. He is already considered as a Liverpool legend.
Firmino played 362 games for Liverpool. He registered 111 goals along with 71 assists. He was the main striker at Anfield but was more like a false nine. Firmino joined Al Ahly for his next challenge but is in tough situation right now.
The 33 year old has played 59 games for Al Ahly and has scored 18 goals. In addition, he has also picked 12 assists in the process. But, Firmino has not been registered by the club for the second half of this season. This has caused troubles for him to stay at Saudi.
GiveMeSport have reported that Firmino can terminate his contract in order to join new club. The report further adds that he can join Arsenal who are in desperate need of striker. However, it will not be easy due to various reasons.
Can Arsenal land Roberto Firmino succesfully?
As of now, Gunners are in desperate need of strikers. Kai Havertz is injured and will miss until the end of the season. Arteta needs help in number nine position and Firmino can certainly be a great addition to the squad.
However, it will be very hard for Gunners to get the deal done. Firmino has always loved Liverpool and hence may opt against joining their rivals. In addition, Arsenal are currently competing with Liverpool for the Premier League title and hence the Brazilian may view this move as a betrayal to his loved club.
