The report claims the club has struck a verbal agreement and his agent Jorge Mendes is now looking to wrap up the move. Should the move be completed, it would reunite Salah and Fabinho after their successful stint together at Liverpool. The pair spent five years at Anfield and were part of a glittering period that saw them win six trophies. They won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup during their time together with the Reds. Fabinho became a fan favourite at Anfield as he played 219 times, scoring 11 times. He sealed a £40m move to Al-Ittihad in 2023 to play alongside the likes of N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema.

Fabinho played a total of 111 times for the Saudi outfit but is now looking towards the next chapter of his career. Salah, meanwhile, will go down as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history after ending his incredible nine-year spell at the club in May. He scored 257 goals in 442 games for the Reds and was crucial in helping the club win two Premier League titles. But his final season at the club ended on a rocky note as he gave a bombshell interview accusing Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus” over a lack of game time. He was heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League himself but ended up sealing a shock move to Turkey. Salah has already made his debut for the club in a 1-1 draw with rivals Kasimpasa. He played the final 32 minutes of that game before starting a 1-0 Europa League qualifying defeat to Ferencvaros. Comment now
