MLS 2025 is approaching and teams continue to move in the transfer market, looking for quality reinforcements to face the new season.
While some teams like FC Cincinnati continue to explore options in South America to strengthen their attack, others are already in full competition in the preseason.
But the big teams also have their bad streaks, as is the case of LA Galaxy in their preseason, where they are in a very negative moment.
However, the big news that is shaking the world of American soccer is the possible arrival of Roberto Firmino to the MLS.
Roberto Firmino, a star on the MLS radar
The 33-year-old Brazilian forward, currently with Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia, could be close to changing teams.
Despite his contract with the Saudi club expiring in June 2026, several MLS teams have already shown interest in signing him.
His departure from Al-Ahli seems imminent, and his arrival in North American football would be a great attraction for the league, due to his great time in Europe and everything he won there with Liverpool.
Since his European career was fabulous in the best years of Liverpool in England in recent times and from there he emerged as a fabulous figure towards Al-Ahli.
It should be remembered that, before signing with the Saudi club, St. Louis City SC was very interested in signing him, so it is not ruled out that they will try to convince him again and fulfill the dream of bringing the Brazilian.

An elite striker with an enviable career
According to Transfermarkt, Firmino has had an outstanding season with Al-Ahli, playing 25 games, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists, adding more than 1,700 minutes of play as indicated by Transfermark.
Despite his age, he continues to demonstrate his quality and could contribute a lot to any MLS team.
His list of achievements is impressive:
- 2019 Copa América winner with Brazil
- 2019-2020 Premier League winner with Liverpool
- 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League winner with Liverpool
- Multiple local and international titles with the ‘Reds’
With experience in Germany, England and Saudi Arabia, Firmino would be a luxury addition to any MLS team. Now, the big question is which clubs will be willing to sign him in the coming weeks.
