# Fabinho Left Out of Liverpool Squad Following £40m Bid from Saudi Arabian Club Al-Ittihad
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has been left out of the squad for a training camp in Germany following a £40m bid from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad. The Reds received the offer for the Brazil international on Friday night, and a decision was taken to remove the 29-year-old from the touring party.
Fabinho joined Liverpool from Monaco in July 2018 for a fee in the region of £39m and has since been an integral part of the team that has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Fifa Club World Cup titles.
Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia but he is travelling to Germany with the squad despite reports that he is a target for Al-Ettifaq, who recently appointed former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard as their new manager.
The Reds have not set an asking price for the 33-year-old yet, but the £10m offer being speculated about falls well below the club’s valuation for a player with two years left on his contract and who has been an integral part of their side for some time now.
## Fabinho’s Liverpool Career So Far
Since joining Liverpool in 2018, Fabinho has made over 100 appearances for the club and has been an integral part of their success in recent years. He has played in a variety of positions for the Reds, including defensive midfield, right back and centre back, and his versatility has been a key factor in his success at Anfield.
The 29-year old has also been praised for his leadership qualities, with former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp describing him as “a leader” and “a great professional” who “has a lot of qualities” that make him an important part of the team.
## Potential Move to Saudi Arabia
It remains to be seen whether Fabinho will make the move to Saudi Arabia or stay at Liverpool, but it is clear that the Reds are not willing to let him go without getting a suitable fee for his services.
The Saudi Arabian club have reportedly offered £40m for Fabinho, which is significantly less than what Liverpool paid for him three years ago, but it is still a substantial amount of money that could be used to strengthen other areas of the squad if they decide to accept the offer.
At this stage, it is unclear what the future holds for Fabinho and whether he will remain at Liverpool or make the move to Saudi Arabia, but one thing is certain – he will be a big loss to the Reds if he does decide to leave Anfield this summer.
## Conclusion
Fabinho has been an important part of Liverpool’s success over the past few years and his departure would be a big blow to the Reds if he does decide to make the move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
However, it is clear that Liverpool are not willing to let him go without getting a suitable fee for his services, and it remains to be seen whether Al-Ittihad will meet their asking price or if Fabinho will remain at Anfield beyond this summer transfer window.
