Officially.. Al Ahli Saudi Club Ends Its Association with Firmino After Amicable Settlement
Khalid Al-Ghamdi, the president of Al Ahli Saudi Club, announced reaching a final agreement with Brazilian star Roberto Firmino to end his contract with the team following the current season, after a comprehensive financial agreement.
Al-Ghamdi confirmed that the two parties reached a financial settlement that satisfies both sides, paving the way for Firmino to leave the team without any disputes, in an official step to close the chapter on the player with 'Al-Raqi'.
Previous reports had revealed the management's intention to dispense with Firmino's services, especially after he was excluded from the team's roster in the Roshan League competitions, which hastened the final termination of the contract.
Firmino joined Al Ahli in the summer of 2023 from Liverpool FC amidst great expectations, but he did not achieve the anticipated level, which led the management to amicably end the contractual relationship.
Despite his decline in performance, Firmino contributed to achieving a historic accomplishment for the club, as he recently celebrated with the team winning the AFC Champions League title, marking the first such triumph in Al Ahli's history.
