Fabinho Joins Al Ittihad From Liverpool In £40m Deal

Fabinho has become the latest Premier League player to leave for the Saudi Pro League.

The Brazilian midfielder has left Liverpool for Al Ittihad on a three-year contract.

Al Ittihad have paid £40m to bring an end to Fabinho's five-year stay at Anfield.

The 29-year-old joined Liverpool from AS Monaco in the summer of 2018 and went on to make 219 appearances for the Reds, scoring 11 goals.

Fabinho was instrumental in Liverpool winning the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup during his time on Merseyside.

Fabinho joins Jordan Henderson in leaving Liverpool for Saudi Arabia this summer.

In a video tribute on the Liverpool website, Fabinho said: 'Today I leave my home. It's been five years wearing this jersey and always with the greatest honor and happiness possible. Since day one at Liverpool, I've been embraced by everyone. What I saw inside this club, the relationship between the people there, made me feel like family. 

'In these five years, I grew as a player, as a man, I made dreams come true… With that jersey, I won every title a player can dream of. Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup… 

'Thanks to Liverpool, I reached my highest level and played a World Cup. Thanks to Liverpool, I fulfilled my dream of walking into a stadium with my son in my arms. Thanks to Liverpool, I played in the best stadium in the world, with the best atmosphere in the world, which is Anfield. Thanks to Liverpool, I lived the biggest match of my life, the comeback against Barcelona, ​​which was only possible thanks to Anfield. That moment will always be in my memory.

'I love what this crowd represents for the club. This love relationship between the club and the fans has always impressed me. And I can say without fear that “You’ll never walk alone”, after that match, alongside our fans, was the most defining moment of my career with Liverpool. I say this with a heart full of joy: I love this club. Thank you, Reds, for everything we've experienced together. You will never walk alone.'
