Fabinho has been left out of Livepool’s squad travelling to their training camp in Germany after the club received a “serious offer” for the midfielder. A £40m bid for the Brazil international has been made by Al-Ittihad, one of four Saudi Arabian clubs owned by the country’s Public Investment Fund.
The Saudi club’s proposal prompted discussions at Anfield which ultimately resulted in a decision, taken in consultation with Fabinho, to withdraw the player from the squad which flew out on Saturday.
