Roberto Firmino is reportedly 'in talks' with Al-Ahli and could become the latest player to seal a Saudi Arabia switch.
The Brazilian has reached the end of his journey at Liverpool after eight years spent with the club and is now searching for a new club. Spanish sides such as Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have been linked with the forward, as have the Italian duo of AC and Inter Milan.
It now seems interest in the 31-year-old has spread to the Middle East, with negotiations currently said to be taking place between Al-Ahli and Firmino. That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who adds the Saudi club are currently preparing medical tests in case Firmino gives the go-ahead to join the club.
If he were to make this move, the former Hoffenheim man would become the latest Premier League player to head for the Saudi Pro League. N'Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves have already made this switch after receiving lucrative contract offers, with Chelsea duo Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech also expected to see deals go through this week.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who like Firmino will officially leave the club at the end of June, is also claimed to be a target for Saudi sides. The English midfielder has been linked with Aston Villa in recent weeks, though could be swayed should he be the subject of an appealing contract offer.
The other two Liverpool to become free agents this summer having already secured their next steps, James Milner signing for Brighton and Naby Keita opting for a Bundesliga return in the form of a deal at Werder Bremen.
