New player of Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, Fabinho bid farewell to his former club Liverpool and the Reds’ supporters in a heartfelt message on social media.
It’s official. Fabinho will continue his career in Saudi Arabia. The Brazilian midfielder has signed a three-year contract with Al Ittihad, until 2026. A new start for the Auriverde star as he leaves Liverpool after spending five seasons with the Reds. But before definitively closing the chapter with Liverpool, the 29-year-old player wanted to pay tribute to his now former club in an emotional message on his Twitter account.
“Today, I leave my home. I wore this shirt for five years, always with the greatest honor and joy possible. From the first day at Liverpool, I was welcomed by everyone. What I saw inside this club, the relationships between people, made me feel like part of the family. During these five years, I have grown as a player, as a man, I have fulfilled dreams… With this shirt, I have won all the titles a player can dream of. Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup…
Thanks to Liverpool, I reached my highest level and played in a World Cup. Thanks to Liverpool, I realized 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, that is, Anfield. Thanks to Liverpool, I experienced the greatest match of my life, the comeback against Barcelona, which was only possible because of Anfield.
This moment will be forever etched in my memory. I love what this crowd represents for the club. This love relationship between the club and the supporters has always impressed me. And I can say without fear that “You’ll never walk alone”, after that match, alongside our supporters, was the most memorable moment of my career at Liverpool. I say this with a heart full of joy: I love this club. Thank you, Reds, for everything we experienced together. You’ll never walk alone,” wrote the Brazilian.
Arriving at Liverpool in 2018 from Monaco, Fabinho played no less than 219 matches with the Reds in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists. In 219 appearances in the colors of the Reds, he notably won a Champions League (2019), a Premier League (2020), and an FA Cup (2022).
