Saudi Pro League Side Al-Ittihad Signs Fabinho from Liverpool in £40m Deal
Renowned Saudi league team, Al-Ittihad, has made a significant addition to their squad by securing the signing of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho from Liverpool. The club management successfully negotiated a £40m deal to bring the talented player to the Saudi Pro League.
In a move that solidifies their ambition to compete at the highest level, Al-Ittihad, known as “The Tigers,” has managed to secure the services of Fabinho until the year 2026. The announcement came as a surprise to many, amidst earlier rumors suggesting that the deal was in jeopardy due to Fabinho’s dogs being of a breed prohibited from entering Saudi Arabia. Underlining their commitment, the club embraced the situation with a touch of humor by captioning the contract signing image with the words, “Tigers allowed to pass.”
Fabinho, the renowned Brazilian midfielder, will now join forces with the likes of Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, both distinguished players who made their way to Al-Ittihad previously. Together, these exceptional talents aim to elevate the performance of the Saudi Arabian club and establish themselves as formidable contenders in both domestic and international competitions.

With the departure of Fabinho, as well as Jordan Henderson bidding farewell, the Premier League giants are on the lookout for fresh talent. Specifically, their sights are set on Southampton’s promising young midfielder, Romeo Lavia.
