Fabrizio Romano says ‘world class’ striker not planning to leave despite links with Chelsea.

A ‘world class’ striker, according to Fabrizio Romano, has no intention of leaving despite rumors of interest in Chelsea.One star forward, according to Fabrizio Romano, has no intention of leaving his current club during the January transfer window.

In spite of rumors that linked him with a transfer to Chelsea, he declared on Twitter that Roberto Firmino has no current plans to depart Al Ettifaq this month.

The Blues are starting to receive rumors regarding potential short-term replacements for the rumored striker vacancy.It has been asserted that Victor Osimhen is their top priority to acquire up front, but that transaction has been rendered nearly impossible to finalize this month.As a consequence, the aforementioned transaction is improbable to occur until the summer; consequently, they may consider pursuing a temporary alternative on loan this month.

It has been suggested that they may have been observing the Saudi Pro League, and Firmino is reportedly one of the players who could be the target.

The stagnation of Firmino this month

Romano, on the other hand, has refuted those rumors by announcing that he will not be relocating during the current transfer window.He stated, “Roberto Firmino, contrary to recent rumors, has no intention of leaving Al Ettifaq during the January transfer window.”

“He has made it abundantly clear from his camp that he will remain at Al Ettifaq.” “No modifications are anticipated.”

After a tenure that manager Jurgen Klopp hailed as “world class” at Liverpool, Firmino has encountered some difficulty adjusting to his new environment.

Instead of focusing on the Saudi League in an effort to resolve their immediate striker concerns, the Blues should consider signing Karim Benzema.

The former Real Madrid superstar appears to be seeking an exit in his rookie season at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea supporters are well aware of his abilities from his assistance in eliminating the Blues from the Champions League in 2016.
