Firmino, the 32-year-old Samba star, moved from Liverpool to earn a living in the Saudi Arabian league with Al Ahly club six months ago, with a performance of scoring 3 goals in 17 shots
However, since October, Firmino has not been sent to play as a starter at all. And it caused news that he is about to move to play with Al Ettifa, a team in the league with Gerrard, the legend of the Reds, holding the reins.
In this case, Gerrard gave an interview on December 24 that he is interested in bringing Firmino to join Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum, who is also a former Spurs Star from Anfield.
“Of course I know Bobby very well, I’m his fan. I have followed him for many years. He is now an Al Ahly player, so it is difficult for me to comment on the situation, but I have loved Bobby since the first day I watched him. And I’m a big fan of it,” Gerrard told the Mirror.
Al Ahly is likely to release Firmino from the team because according to the rules of the Saudi Arabian league, each club cannot have more than six foreign players. This season, they are Riyad Mahrez, Allan Saint Maximin, Edouard Mendy, Franck Gessier , Gabriel Vieca , Merih Demiral and Roger I. Banez
Al Ahly have action against Al Khaleej on Friday, December 29, which could be Firmino’s last game with the club as the Saudi Arabian league will be on winter break until mid-February, which could see him move to Stevie G’s side instead next month.
