After an illustrious five-year career at Liverpool, Fabinho has penned a new three-year contract with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. This marks the end of an era at Anfield for the Brazilian, following an emotional goodbye.
Fabinho now joins the ranks of former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and ex-Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante at the Middle Eastern powerhouse. His £40 million move comes as a significant signing for the Saudi Pro League club.
HURDLES OVERCOME IN THE MOVE
The transition was not without its hiccups. There were minor delays due to paperwork, and concerns that Fabinho’s French bulldogs would not be permitted into Saudi Arabia, where his breed is classified as ‘dangerous and aggressive.’ However, these were mere roadblocks, and all obstacles have now been resolved.
