- Fabinho’s Merseyside tale is seemingly nearing its final page. The midfield maestro from Brazil has recently concluded the “second phase” of his medical check-ups in the glitzy city of Dubai, as reported by Itti Mania, with an image to vouch for it.
Contrary to some media speculation, spearheaded by certain notable names hinting that the Brazilian was yet to jet off to the Middle East, the evidence seems irrefutable. With a looming £40 million switch to Al Ittihad, Fabinho is poised to become the latest Liverpool sensation to embrace the Saudi Arabian football scene this transfer window.
Reds’ Midfield Conundrum
It’s been a whirlwind transfer window for the Anfield side. The arrivals of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have surely been headliners, but the exits of stalwarts such as Jordan Henderson and now, Fabinho, coupled with the departure of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner, have undeniably punctured the heart of Liverpool’s midfield.
Yet, in the ebb and flow of football’s transfer dynamics, one departure often paves the way for another arrival. With Fabinho’s exit drawing closer, the Reds’ silver lining seems to be their intensified pursuit of Romeo Lavia. Liverpool’s initial overture of £37 million for the promising 19-year-old was rebuffed by Southampton. But, the Anfield war chest, now bolstered by Fabinho’s imminent departure, is likely to be wielded again for a heightened bid.
