Firmino set to depart Al Ahli after historic AFC Champions League title
Roberto Firmino is poised to leave Al Ahli after the current season, following a mutual agreement to end his contract, according to club president Khalid Al-Ghamdi.
The Brazilian forward's departure comes after a remarkable campaign that saw Al Ahli win their first-ever AFC Champions League title, with Firmino playing a key role.
Despite being sidelined from domestic league matches due to foreign player restrictions, Firmino excelled in the AFC Champions League Elite, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.
He was instrumental in Al Ahli's historic run, culminating in a 2-0 victory over Kawasaki Frontale in the final, where he assisted both goals.
His outstanding performance earned him the tournament's Most Valuable Player award.
Firmino's journey at Al Ahli has been marked by both challenges and triumphs, and his legacy at the club remains significant.
After joining from Liverpool in the summer of 2023, he adapted to the Saudi Pro League and made a lasting impact on the pitch.
His next move is expected to be finalized after a comprehensive financial agreement was reached between Firmino and Al Ahli.
