Fabinho has today completed a permanent transfer to Al-Ittihad after five years with Liverpool FC. A maiden campaign during which he was increasingly integral saw Liverpool lose just once in the Premier League and total 97 points but narrowly miss out on top spot.

A UEFA Super Cup winner’s medal was added at the outset of 2019-20 and Fabinho featured 28 times – chipping in with two goals and three assists – as Klopp’s men surged to redemptive Premier League title glory with 99 points in 2019-20. There was also the delightful ‘Panenka’ penalty Fabinho converted in the Carabao Cup final shootout win over Chelsea, with Klopp’s side going on to lift the FA Cup and be runners-up in the Premier League and Champions League.

The midfielder passed 200 appearances for Liverpool during the most recent season and now bids farewell to the club with the move to Al-Ittihad. Everyone at Liverpool FC would like to thank Fabinho for all of his contributions to the club’s successes during the last five years.
