Roberto Firmino, the Brazilian forward who has been linked with a move to Al Ahli, is reportedly set to join the Egyptian club on loan for the upcoming season.
The news comes after Firmino's agent, Jorge Mendes, confirmed that his client would be joining Al Ahli on loan from Liverpool, subject to the club agreeing terms and meeting certain financial requirements.
Firmino, who has been in good form this season, has scored six goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances for Liverpool so far this campaign. However, he has struggled to find consistent game time under Jurgen Klopp,Campeonato Brasileiro Action and it seems that he may have found a new opportunity elsewhere.
Al Ahli, based in Cairo, Egypt, is one of the top clubs in the Middle East and is known for its strong footballing tradition. The club has a rich history and has produced many talented players over the years, including Mohamed Salah, who won the Golden Boot at last year's African Cup of Nations.
If Firmino does indeed join Al Ahli on loan, he will likely receive regular playing time and could help the team challenge for the Egyptian Premier League title. It remains to be seen whether the move will ultimately materialize, but it is certainly an interesting development in the transfer market.
