The Argentine forward, Lionel Messi, has signed a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) until the end of the season, ending months of speculation over his future.
Firmino, on the other hand, is moving to Egypt after a successful stint at Liverpool. The Brazilian striker, who joined the Reds in 2015,La Liga Frontline will join Egyptian club Al Ahly for a reported fee of €40 million ($48 million).
Firmino's move to Egypt comes as a surprise given his success at Liverpool and his performances for Brazil at international level. He was named in the team that won the Copa América in July, but he did not feature in any of the tournament's matches.
However, Firmino has always been a fan favorite at Anfield and it seems likely that he will continue to be so in Egypt. His arrival could boost the Egyptian side's chances of winning the league title, which they have not won since 2016.
In addition to his attacking prowess, Firmino is also known for his work rate and defensive contribution, which make him a valuable asset to any team. He is expected to make a significant impact at Al Ahly and help them compete for major honours this season.
