Robert Firmino sends football world into meltdown after posing in Premier League kit – it’s not Liverpool’s

Former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino has caused mass confusion online after posing in another English club's shirt.Firmino, 32, left Liverpool for Al-Ahli last summer and scored nine goals in his debut season in the Saudi Pro League. With his preparations set for next summer, Firmino caused some confusion in the last 24 hours by donning a Burnley Premier League shirt last season while working out in the gym.Having scored five times against the Lancashire side during his eight-year spell at Liverpool, the Brazilian is under contract in the Middle East until 2026, so the chances of him jumping ship to Turf Moor seem highly unlikely.When I woke up this morning I didn't expect to see Roberto Firmino in the Burnley 23/24 away kit 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/eFnUHU8hnXJune 27, 2024Sleuthing supporters concluded that fellow South American Vitinho could have gifted the shirt to Firmino as he is known to be close friends with the former Liverpool striker. Vitinho moved to Burnley from Cercle Brugge in 2022 and played 36 times under Kompany last season.Firmino has of course enjoyed wholesale success on Merseyside, winning the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup during a trophy-laden spell under former manager Jurgen Klopp.Burnley away shirt for 2023/24 (Image credit: Umbro/Burnley)Burnley were relegated back to the Championship last season after a poor Premier League campaign, picking up just 24 points from 38 games. Manager Vincent Kompany has also left for Bayern Munich, with his successor yet to be named.Craig Bellamy and Scott Parker are currently the frontrunners to take charge ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, with the former currently only 8/15. If appointed, Bellamy would be taking his first steps in first-team management, having so far spent most of his coaching career as an assistant.The best features, fun and football quizzes straight to your inbox every week.More Liverpool storiesLiverpool transfer plans revealedwith the expected quiet summer: reportFormer Liverpool star predicts the future of Mohamed Salah's transfer claiming "silly money".Jamie Carragher suffers from hacking problems that lead to bizarre tweets - and his account is now DELETED window.reliableConsentGiven.then(function(){ !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function() {n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)} ;if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n; n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=();t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)(0);s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script','https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '230404523817416'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); })
