Firmino spotted in Corinthians shirt in social media video | OneFootball

Roberto Firmino has once again become a talking point among Corinthians fans in recent days. Currently playing for Al-Sadd of Qatar, the 34-year-old forward appeared in a video shared on social media doing physical training while wearing Timão’s current-season shirt.

The player’s connection with the black-and-white club, however, is far from new. On different occasions, Firmino has publicly declared his support for Corinthians. In an interview with ge.globo in 2018, the forward revealed that he usually follows the team’s matches and keeps up with the club’s day-to-day affairs.

Over the past few years, the player’s name has also been linked with Corinthians in several transfer windows. In 2024, for example, Firmino once again stirred up the Fiel by interacting with a post from Timão midfielder Igor Coronado, leaving three fire emojis in the comments.

That same year, in an interview with UOL Esporte, the forward admitted that playing for Corinthians is a possibility that appeals to him if he returns to Brazilian football.

“I have put it in prayer, and when the Lord wants to make it happen and confirms it in my heart, it will happen. The desire to return to Brazil has grown in my heart,” he said.

Despite his openly declared affection for the club from Parque São Jorge, a deal at this moment is considered unlikely. Firmino has a contract with Al-Sadd until June 2027 and remains tied to the Qatari team.

In the 2025/26 season, the Brazilian has posted impressive numbers. So far, he has played 33 matches, scored 19 goals, and also contributed seven assists.

Developed in CRB’s youth academy, Firmino began his professional career at Figueirense before building his career abroad. His first destination outside Brazil was Germany’s TSG Hoffenheim, where he drew attention with his performances and sparked interest from bigger clubs on the European stage.

The major turning point in his career came in 2015, when he completed his transfer to Liverpool. At the English club, he became one of the team’s main figures, winning major titles, including the Champions League and the Premier League.

After leaving England in 2023, the forward moved to Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia. Two years later, he transferred to Al-Sadd, where he currently remains while continuing to nurture his already well-known connection with Corinthians.
