Roshn Saudi League clubs have recently succeeded, especially during the recent summer transfer market, in attracting several active stars in the major European leagues, but some have not succeeded as expected, threatening the close of their careers in Saudi Arabia.
The abandonment of these players, who were not adapted either technically or socially in the Roshn League, is one of the most controversial files in Saudi football currently. The league recently adopted a proposal to rotate foreign stars between clubs, and the name of Brazilian striker Firmino, who did not succeed with Al Ahli, was specifically put forward and proposed for transfer to young people in January.
Journalist Tariq Al-Tuwaijri confirmed that Firmino’s youth move would be calculated from Al-Ahli’s budget allocated to him from the Star Attraction Programme, but noted that the club would receive some reward for succeeding in marketing the player and not having to terminate his contract.

حسب معلوماتي لو انتقل فيرمينو من #الأهلي لـ #الشباب سيحسب على ميزانية الأهلي، ومن الممكن أن يكون للأهلي مكافأة#برا_18 | #SSC pic.twitter.com/ZxIuauXWXZ— شركة الرياضة السعودية SSC (@ssc_sports) December 18, 2023
Speaking on the program “kora”, he noted that the polarization program found an innovative solution to address this file: contracting with a global marketing company that helps clubs get rid of their big foreign players who have not had the required success. He pointed out that it might start in the next winter market with that company getting a percentage of each sale and assured that that would not prevent the loss but reduce it.
It is noted that the talk is not only about Firmino’s departure from Al-Ahli, but also Sekou Fofana about Al-Nassr, Fabino about Al-Ittihad and perhaps Karim Benzema as well.
