Fabinho’s Departure and Liverpool’s Rebuild…
Fabinho, once a midfield maestro at Liverpool, found himself packing his bags for Al Ittihad in 2023 after the club decided it was time to cash in. Sold for a whopping $54 million, Liverpool’s top-brass couldn’t resist the sweet siren call of the mighty dollar. It’s like they spotted a unicorn dressed as a Saudi prince and realized they had to sell while the magic was still good! As Fabinho watched Liverpool rebuild their midfield with players like Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, he recalled the bittersweet taste of the past season.
Despite not wanting to leave the club, Fabinho was ultimately charmed by Al Ittihad’s offer. It was as if he was caught between a rock and a flying bacon sandwich—a delightful yet surreal predicament! His conversations with the coaching staff left the exit door ajar, and with a few gentle nudges, he walked through it. Ensuring there were no hard feelings, he confessed his love for Liverpool but acknowledged that Saudi Arabia was his next stop on the adventure train. It seems the sentimental midfield star prayed his way to peace and found contentment in the desert sands.
