It has been a rather interesting season for Roberto Firmino. The Liverpool icon decided against renewing his contract with the Reds last summer as he signed a big-money deal with Al Ahli. However, things have not gone as planned for the Brazilian with the team now looking to offload the player following a rough start. According to reports, Firmino has been linked to a return to the Premier League. However, it seems like the player has another destination in mind rather that isn’t Anfield.

Things have been miserable for Firmino following his move to Al Ahli. While fans expected the player to emerge as one of the key figures for the team, the player so far has been a liability. Firmino has already made nineteen appearances for the side across all competitions, managing just three goals to his name with all of those goals coming in his debut.

According to reports from TalkSport, Premier League side Fulham has been offered the opportunity to sign Liverpool icon Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian is allegedly disappointed with his time at the club and wants to make a return to the Premier League.

While there has been no response from Fulham, it has been reported that the side could make an offer for the player with the team looking to replace ex-striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who left for Al-Hilal this summer. Fulham could get a great boost from Firmino’s arrival, with the team looking to break into the top half of the standings.

However, Fulham is not the only side interested in the player’s services. According to rumors, Liverpool is also monitoring the situation with the team looking to sign the player on loan for a short-term basis.
