Roberto Firmino has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli on a three-year deal after leaving Liverpool.

The Brazil forward, 31, was a free agent after his Liverpool contract expired at the end of last season.

Firmino scored 111 goals in 362 games for the Reds after joining from Hoffenheim in 2015.

He is one of several big-name signings by Saudi clubs this summer and joins Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy at Al-Ahli after he left Chelsea last week.

Forming a devastating attacking trio with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, he helped Liverpool win the Champions League in 2019, the Premier League in 2020 and both the FA Cup and League Cup in 2022.

Firmino also scored the only goal in extra time as Liverpool beat Flamengo to win the Fifa Club World Cup for the first time in December 2019.
