Flamengo has launched an ambitious plan for the 2025 Club World Cup and aims to make Roberto Firmino the main face of their offense. The club's board is working to secure the forward's return to his country, in an operation that, if successful, would be one of the major moves in the South American market. Firmino views the possibility of wearing red and black favorably, bringing his departure from Al-Ahli closer, as he has no plans to continue despite having a contract until 2026.

The 33-year-old forward has regained prominence this season with crucial performances in Saudi Arabia. He has contributed with 12 goals and 10 assists in 31 appearances, playing a key role in his team's conquest of the AFC Champions League title. However, that stage seems to be coming to an end, and the desire to compete again in his homeland has become a priority for the former Liverpool player.

Flamengo, on the other hand, aims to form a high-caliber offensive front. With figures like Pedro, Bruno Henrique, Gonzalo Plata, and Everton Ribeiro already in the squad, Firmino's arrival would represent a leap in quality and hierarchy. Coach Filipe Luis sees in the forward the ideal profile to lead the team in a tournament as demanding as the Club World Cup, where champions from each confederation will go up against European giants.

The negotiation won't be easy, but the player's interest and Flamengo's competitive project could be decisive in securing his return to Brazil. The club aims to dream big, and Firmino fits perfectly into that vision.
