Roberto Firmino was one of many stars who decided to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo’s footsteps by taking his talents to the Saudi Pro League.

The former Liverpool player, who ended a years-long stint at Anfield to move to Asia in 2023, could have more Brazilian teammates this season.

According to the Saudi outlet Al-Riyadiyah, Al Ahli is monitoring two of “Bobby’s” compatriots to form a “super attack” in this transfer market: Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison.

Both would be favored by German coach Matthias Jaissle, who has been in charge of the team for just one season.

Al Ahli recently finished third in the Saudi league, 21 points behind champions Al Hilal.

Gabriel Jesus has seen less playing time at Arsenal with the arrival of Kai Havertz, although Mikel Arteta still considers him enough to use him as a substitute.

Richarlison, on the other hand, remains important for Tottenham, especially since Harry Kane left the English club last summer.
