The famous striker Roberto Firmino failed to adapt to the Saudi Arabian league.

As the "Mirror" reported, the 32-year-old Brazilian wanted to change clubs after spending half a year in the Middle Eastern country.

The experienced player did not establish himself in the "Al Ahli" team and since October, he has been more often on the bench than playing on the field.

According to media reports, R. Firmino may stay in Saudi Arabia as he has attracted interest from the "Al-Ettifaq" club, coached by Englishman Steven Gerrard. If the transfer happens, the Brazilian will reunite with former teammates in England - Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum.

In this Saudi Arabian championship, R. Firmino has scored 3 goals in 16 matches (starting in the lineup for 10 games).
