Former Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino could be offered a chance to leave the Saudi Pro League behind this summer, it has been reported.

Despite initial difficulties adjusting to life in Saudi, Firmino has scored 21 goals in 65 appearances, and led Al-Ahli to the AFC Champions League Elite title this season.

Things were rather different for Firmino in the league, however, with Al-Ahli manager Matthias Jaissle opting to omit the forward from his Saudi Pro League squad for the rest of the 2024/25 campaign in February, so that he could include £41.6m January transfer window signing Galeno as part of his 10 foreign player allowance.

"It was a difficult decision for the club and based on the rules.

The Brazilian, 33, has just completed his second season in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli, reports the Mirror.

According to the AS report, Real are on the hunt for a 'pure, old school' No.

Gonzalo Garcia, 21, has particularly impressed, netting 25 goals for the B team this season.

If Firmino makes the move to the Bernabeu, he would be reuniting with former Liverpool teammate and Real Madrid's latest signing, Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The pair enjoyed considerable success during Jurgen Klopp's golden era at Anfield.

He would also join fellow Brazilians Eder Militao and Vinicius Jr in the squad, although it remains uncertain whether new Real boss Xabi Alonso will be open to the transfer.
