What did Fabinho say about Salah and Van Dijk?

Fabinho, who left Liverpool for Saudi Arabia in 2023, expressed his opinion on the situation during a recent interview in the Middle East.

“I haven’t talked to them lately,” he admitted. “I know some players like Mo, Virgil and Trent are at the end of their contract, and I think Liverpool are desperate to get them a new contract, but it’s not my problem anymore!”

The Brazilian midfielder, now at Al-Ittihad, joins a growing list of former Liverpool stars who have opted for Saudi clubs, including Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane.

With the Saudi Pro League’s ambitious recruitment campaign and huge interest reported in Salah, particularly from Al-Ittihad, the rumors surrounding Liverpool’s stars have only intensified.

Losing Salah, Van Dijk and potentially Trent Alexander-Arnold all at once would be a huge coup for Liverpool, both on and off the field. While Fabinho did not reveal any direct updates on his former teammates, his comments hint at Liverpool’s strong desire to keep their core intact.

Liverpool fans now face an anxious wait to see whether the club can retain these essential players, or whether the lure of new challenges elsewhere, especially in Saudi Arabia, will finally prevail.
