Fabrizio Romano provides update on Chelsea transfer target’s future | OneFootball

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has made it clear that Roberto Firmino is not looking to leave Al Ahli this January, despite recent links with Chelsea.

Firmino was a great player for many years at Liverpool and one imagines he could surely have provided Chelsea with a very decent option for a few months, even if the Brazilian is no longer at the peak of his powers.
