Roberto Firmino sent brutal message as Liverpool legend's Saudi nightmare continues

Saudi club refuse to pay Liverpool star's wages as he eyes Anfield return

Liverpool legend Roberto Firmino has been sent a brutal message by his Saudi club Al-Nassr as his nightmare in the Middle East continues.

The Brazilian striker has been frozen out at Al-Nassr and is desperate to return to England, with a move back to Anfield on the cards.

But Al-Nassr are refusing to pay Firmino's wages, which are believed to be around £120,000 a week.

The club's president, Musalli Al-Muammar, has told Firmino that he will not be paid until he returns to Saudi Arabia.

Firmino is now considering legal action against Al-Nassr in a bid to force them to pay his wages.

The 31-year-old joined Al-Nassr in the summer after leaving Liverpool on a free transfer.

However, he has struggled to settle in Saudi Arabia and has only made three appearances for the club.

Firmino is now desperate to return to England, where he spent seven seasons with Liverpool.

He is believed to be open to a move back to Anfield, but Liverpool are yet to make an offer.

Firmino's situation is a reminder of the dangers of moving to a foreign league, especially in countries with less developed football infrastructures.

Players who move to these leagues often find it difficult to adapt to the different culture and playing style.

Firmino's experience should serve as a warning to other players who are considering a move to Saudi Arabia or other less developed football leagues.
