Roberto Firmino is reportedly considering terminating his contract with Al Ahli after being excluded from their squad, and if he becomes a free agent, Arsenal could explore the possibility of signing the former Liverpool star to bolster their injury-ravaged attack.
Although Arsenal is not actively seeking a free agent at this time, ongoing speculation links them with available players on the market. The Gunners have faced several attacking injuries, and with their Premier League title push still alive, they may be tempted to make a move for experienced players currently without a club.
Among the names being mentioned is Firmino, who has been left off Al Ahli’s roster and could see his contract terminated, making him available for transfer. His proven Premier League pedigree is a point of interest for Arsenal, especially as they search for attacking reinforcements. However, while Firmino’s past success with Liverpool is well-established, there are concerns over his recent form. He struggled towards the end of his time in England and has not impressed in the Saudi Pro League, leading many to question whether he could still make an impact.
Currently, Arsenal is relying on their existing squad, but if another injury strikes, they may be forced to consider free agents. While Firmino’s name may attract attention, his recent performances suggest that a move for him would be a considerable risk. Given the Gunners’ title aspirations, they may decide to look for a more reliable solution if they decide to dip into the free-agent market.
