Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is reportedly close to sealing a £40m move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, as Jurgen Klopp begins his summer squad overhaul.
The Brazilian defensive midfielder, who has been a key figure at Anfield since 2018, could become the latest high-profile player to join the Saudi Pro League's spending spree.
Klopp's Midfield Reshuffle
With Fabinho's departure looming, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is already identifying potential replacements. The Reds have been linked with several defensive midfielders across Europe as they prepare for life without their Brazilian enforcer.
Fabinho's potential exit follows Jordan Henderson's proposed move to Al-Ettifaq, marking a significant midfield exodus at Anfield this summer.
Saudi Spending Continues
The Saudi Pro League has emerged as a major player in the transfer market, with Al-Ittihad - managed by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo - particularly active. Fabinho would join fellow Premier League stars including Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante at the Jeddah-based club.
Liverpool are expected to reinvest the £40m fee into their squad rebuild, with Klopp keen to refresh his midfield options after last season's disappointing campaign.
