Roberto Firmino has expressed his delight at signing for Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli after the expiry of his contract at Liverpool.
The 31-year-old's time on Merseyside came to an end upon the conclusion of the 2022-23 season after eight years at Anfield. It was an emotional farewell for the Brazilian forward as he made a timely contribution scoring the equaliser against Aston Villa before netting in the 4-4 draw with Southampton on the final day of the season.
Firmino decided not to extend his stay beyond an eighth year on Merseyside despite the intentions of Jurgen Klopp to retain his services. It was reported by German media that the former TSG Hoffenheim striker didn't enter negotiations with other clubs when the window became open in January out of respect to the Reds.
