Former Liverpool star and Al Ahli forward Roberto Firmino could be heading back to Europe.

The Brazilian is not enjoying the best of spells at Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League at present.

The 32-year-old, per talkSPORT, is not happy with his reduced role in the team and wants to leave in January.

Sheffield United initially wanted to secure Firmino, but may have changed their mind with Chris Wilder in charge.

Al Ahli may even let him go out on loan, with European and other Saudi teams interested.

Al Shabab are an option, as they have the flexibility to pay Firmino's wages for the remainder of this season.
