We’ve always been used to read all sorts of stories from the rumour mill, with claims getting a little crazier now that the Saudi market is on fire.
At the weekend, reports said that Fabinho’s move from Liverpool to Al-Ittihad could collapse because his dogs wouldn’t be allowed to enter Saudi Arabia.
That’s why Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte today features a story on the situation, following all the attention it got on Twitter and media outlets.
Globo Esporte got in touch with Fabinho’s entourage and heard that the dogs are ‘not a concern’ for his move from Liverpool to Al-Ittihad.
It’s claimed the transfer was only not concluded yet because of ‘bureaucratic details’, which have nothing to do with dog breeds.
A representative from the Saudi club was in London at the weekend to sort those final details, and only a bank statement is said to be lacking for now. Then Fabinho will be able to leave Liverpool and sign next week.
