Former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino is rumored to be rejoining the Premier League for a stint in a team facing relegation.
Following his departure from Liverpool to join Al-Ahli, a Saudi club, the Brazilian has reportedly encountered challenges, as indicated by talkSPORT.
Despite significant interest from various European teams after leaving the Premier League, he opted for a move to the Middle East.
While Firmino initially scored three goals in his debut for Al-Ahli, he has struggled to find the net since, leading to purported dissatisfaction from the Saudi team.
Reportedly, Sheffield United had previously shown interest in recruiting the beloved Liverpool player, and it remains to be seen if this interest persists under the management of Chris Wilder, who has returned as the manager.
Given his influential role during his tenure at Liverpool, Sheffield United would welcome a player of his caliber and experience should Firmino contemplate a transfer.
During his time at Liverpool, Firmino played a vital role under Jurgen Klopp, contributing 11 Premier League goals and four assists in the previous season.
As part of Liverpool’s formidable attack alongside Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, Firmino played a crucial role in the team’s triumphs in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Known as a favorite player of Jurgen Klopp, Firmino’s ability to enhance his teammates’ performances could potentially be significant for Sheffield United in their battle against relegation.
While some speculate that financial motives prompted Firmino’s move to Saudi Arabia, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
