Liverpool's Brazilian midfielder Fabinho yesterday joined Saudi champions Al-Ittihad on a three-year deal.
Al-Ittihad said on X, formerly Twitter, that the 29-year-old signed a contract until 2026 with the Jeddah club to join French stars Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante and Portuguese winger Jota.
"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."
"…I love this club. Thank you, Reds, for everything we've experienced together. You will never walk alone," Fabinho said in a farewell message.
