Roberto Firmino's days in Al-Ahly Saudi Arabia are numbered, and at the same time, the door to returning to the English Premier League is open for the Brazilian star.
Firmino left coach Matthias Jaisse's account and was confined to the bench, making his departure in the winter Mercato certain.
According to reports from the English media, Sheffield United are preparing to make a loan offer for Firmino in the winter transfer window.
But the bottom of the English Premier League faces competition from Rushen League clubs, as Al-Ettifaq, Al-Shabab and Al-Fateh aspire to obtain the services of the 32-year-old.
Firmino's position on leaving Saudi Arabia and returning to the Premier League after only 6 months in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques remains unknown.
Perhaps the Brazilian is confused, given the situation of Sheffield United. The team has only managed to achieve 9 points, and it has the weakest attacking line with 15 goals in 19 matches.
It remains to be noted that Saudi newspaper reports indicate that the agreement is the most likely to obtain Firmino's services due to the player's strong relationship with English coach Steven Gerrard.
