Firmino joins Al-Ahli after leaving Liverpool

Roberto Firmino has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool.

Firmino scored 111 goals in 362 games for the Reds after joining from Hoffenheim in 2015.

He is one of several big-name signings by Saudi clubs this summer and joins Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy at Al-Ahli after he left Chelsea last week.

• Firmino's farewell will see a Reds 'rebuild'

Firmino left Anfield as a free agent this summer, along with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner.

The departing quartet were given a generous ovation from team-mates and fans after the final game of the season, but it was modern-day great Firmino who took the loudest applause.

Forming a devastating attacking trio with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, he helped Liverpool win the Champions League in 2019, the Premier League in 2020 and both the FA Cup and League Cup in 2022.

He also scored the only goal in extra time as Liverpool beat Flamengo to win the Fifa Club World Cup for the first time in December 2019.

It was announced in March that Firmino would be leaving the club at the end of the season.
