Fabinho is a top target for Nuno Espírito Santo at Al-Ittihad, raising the prospect that two Liverpool midfielders could leave for Saudi Arabia. Jordan Henderson has verbally agreed to join Al-Ettifaq and that deal should go through if the clubs can agree a fee for the 33-year-old.
Fabinho’s camp has been approached by Al-Ittihad and talks have taken place regarding salary and contract but Liverpool have not received an offer. Al-Ittihad, one of four Saudi Arabian clubs owned by the country’s Public Investment Fund, which controls Newcastle United, have signed Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté and Jota for next season. Nuno, the former Wolves and Tottenham manager, took over there a year ago and won the league at the first attempt.
