Fabinho close to Liverpool exit as Saudi offer comes in
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho did not travel with the rest of the squad for the pre-season fixtures in Germany, most likely to help the 29-year-old Brazilian resolve his future.
Al Ittihad submitted a bid of around £40m, and Liverpool now find themselves in a race against time to secure a suitable replacement (h/t ECHO). With no number six in the ranks, it is imperative we bring in a readymade starter.
The Reds are carefully considering the offer from Al Ittihad, and the exclusion of Fabinho from the travelling party signals their intention to resolve his future as quickly as possible.
Earlier in the week, Liverpool insisted they had not received any communication from clubs interested in Fabinho. However, the situation has now changed, with the club receiving a significant offer on Friday night.
This development has forced Liverpool to take action and withdraw Fabinho from the squad in order to address his future. One way or other, we hope it will reach it’s climax soon.
Fabinho’s potential move to Saudi Arabia has implications for Liverpool’s midfield. The Brazilian international has surely been a critical figure in the team, providing stability and control in the centre of the pitch. His absence would leave a void that needs to be filled promptly to maintain the team’s balance and competitiveness.
The club will undoubtedly be working behind the scenes to identify suitable options and negotiate transfer deals. Time is of the essence and Liverpool must act swiftly to secure a replacement who can seamlessly fit into Jurgen Klopp’s system.
