Paul Joyce: Liverpool star’s £40m move to non-European club to finally continue

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho to Al Ittihad talks continue after delay in proceedings

Fabinho’s move from Liverpool to Al Ittihad will finally go ahead. The £40m transfer deal had hit a snag over payment terms, causing delays in the transfer process. However, talks have now started again, raising expectations that the move will be completed soon.

Paul Joyce of The Times took to Twitter to break this news. The potential departure of Fabinho had raised concerns among Liverpool supporters, as the Brazilian midfielder has been a crucial figure in the heart of the team’s midfield. His defensive prowess, ball-winning abilities, and distribution have made him a linchpin for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Renewed expectation that Fabinho £40m move to Al Ittihad will go ahead after deal had stalled over payment terms to Liverpool. Talks started again. Liverpool first bid for Romeo Lavia was £34m plus £4m add ons and Southampton expecting another approach.

Despite the initial stall in the deal, Liverpool and Al Ittihad are back at the negotiation table, trying to resolve the payment issues that were holding up the transfer. Both clubs are keen to finalize the move, and it seems that the sides slowly progress to reach an agreement.

The club has already shown intent to fill the Fabinho gap by targeting Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia. The Reds’ initial bid for Lavia was £34m, with an additional £4m in add-ons, showcasing their determination to secure the 19-year-old’s signature.

Fabinho to Saudi soon

While Southampton rejected the first offer, there is a growing expectation that Liverpool will make another approach for Lavia. ECHO‘s recent piece on the Lavia situation talks about a new bid that is ‘almost ready’ for the Belgian international.

With talks resumed for Fabinho’s transfer and a potential renewed approach for Lavia, it is an intriguing time for Liverpool in the transfer market. The club’s recruitment strategy seems focused on young and talented players with the potential to make an impact at Anfield.

As negotiations continue, Liverpool supporters can rest assured that their club’s leadership is working diligently to secure the best possible outcome. Whether it’s finding a new midfielder to bolster the squad or finalizing Fabinho’s move to Al Ittihad, the club’s top priority remains ensuring a well-equipped team for the upcoming season.
