Even Liverpool’s soccer master ended up in Saudi Arabia not Warsaw Newcastle Juventus

The “Liverpool Soccer Master,” who had been keeping his mouth shut about his future, finally decided his destination. Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal seems to be aiming at Liverpool striker, who is about to expire his contract this time.

Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European transfer market, reported on social media on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that “I understand that Al Hilal is negotiating to sign Roberto Firmino.”

Brazilian striker Firmino, who has been active in Liverpool, will qualify as a free agent as his contract expires on the 30th.

Firmino has scored 111 goals and 79 assists in 362 games since he started playing for Liverpool in 2015. In particular, he was active as Paul’s Nine (fake No. 9) under manager Jürgen Klopp, forming the best offensive team in Europe with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in his heyday. It’s the so-called “ma-nu-la” attack line

Firmino, who left Liverpool eight years after his contract expired, was embroiled in rumors of transferring to prestigious European clubs such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Newcastle, Juventus and Napoli, but he kept his mouth shut and scored in his last game at Liverpool.

However, Al Hilal, who is recently collecting Premier League players, has been found to have thrown an offer to Firmino, and Firmino is also rumored to be positive

Jang Hyun-soo’s team, Al Hilal, has recently recruited world-class players through huge amounts of money like his rivals Al-Ittihad and Al-Nasr.

Al-Hilal recruited Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Hoobeng Neves, Hwang Hee-chan’s teammate, on the 24th. Neves stunned many as he headed to the Middle East as he was only 26 years old as he was a premier league midfielder and born in 1997

According to local British media, Al Hilal paid 47 million pounds (about 77.9 billion won) to Wolverhampton. It is also known that Neves, who was paid 80,000 pounds (about 133 million won) a week at Wolverhampton, promised to raise his annual salary by at least three times.

Al Hilal, who finished recruiting Neves, immediately signed another Premier League player. They announced on social media on the 26th that they have recruited Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

Koulibaly, who played for SSC Napoli until last year and was considered one of the best defenders in Europe, moved to Chelsea ahead of the 2022/23 season, but ended up leaving the club after a sluggish year.

According to Romano, Al Hilal invested 23 million euros (about 32.7 billion won) in Koulibaly transfer

Al-Hilal, who has reinforced the midfielder and defender, has now turned to the striker. What caught my eye was Firmino, who was about to face the FA and was once a top European striker.

“Negotiations are underway between Al Hilal and Firmino, and Al Hilal is waiting for the final decision of the player,” Romano said.

“Al Hilal is preparing for a medical test in case Firmino shows a ‘green light’,” he said, expressing his sincerity in recruiting Firmino.

Attention is focusing on whether Al-Hilal will add another Premier Leaguer to his squad this summer’s transfer window 토토배너문의
