Confirmed, Fabinho leaves Liverpool, his words of farewell to the club

It is now official and 100% confirmed. Fabinho has left Liverpool to join Al-Ittihad, the current Saudi Pro League champions, where he will remain until 2026, after spending the last five years in the jersey of England's biggest and most important club.

Weeks ago, Fabinho had accepted Al-Ittihad's contractual offer and told Jürgen Klopp of his desire to leave Anfield to join the economically powerful Saudi Arabian league, despite the fact that the German coach of the Reds had considered him as a starter and very important player for the next season in which the team will seek to reverse last season's failure.

However, Klopp accepted and gave the green light for Fabinho to leave the team after the Saudi club paid £40 million for his transfer. The agreement between the two teams was total for several days, however some bureaucratic issues had delayed his departure from Anfield, but now everything has been resolved and Fabinho is now officially a new Al-Ittihad player, where he will partner N'Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema.

Fabinho has been one of the most important players in recent years for the success of our Liverpool and now, after making his departure from the team official, he has dedicated a few words of farewell to the club with which he won every possible trophy in European football.

"Today I leave my home. It's been five years wearing this jersey and always with the greatest honor and happiness possible. Since day one at Liverpool, I've been embraced by everyone (...) With that jersey, I won every title a player can dream of. Thanks to Liverpool, I reached my highest level and played a World Cup. Thanks to Liverpool, I fulfilled my dream of walking into a stadium with my son in my arms. Thanks to Liverpool, I played in the best stadium in the world, with the best atmosphere in the world, which is Anfield. (...) I say this with a heart full of joy: I love this club. Thank you, Reds, for everything we've experienced together. You will never walk alone," he wrote on his Instagram account.
