Palmeiras attempted to sign midfielder Fabinho from Al Ittihad, but according to ESPN, the talks did not progress. The interest in the 32-year-old former Liverpool player was first published by Nosso Palestra and was later confirmed. Sources indicated that an inquiry was made to the player in August, at a time when his future in Saudi Arabia was uncertain. The club, known as Alviverde, decided not to proceed with the negotiation because the player's career plan does not include a return to Brazil at this time.
Fabinho is a Brazilian national team player and has 30 caps for his country. He was acquired by Al Ittihad in 2023 for a fee of £40 million. His contract with the Saudi club is valid until June 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15.00m. In the current season, he has made 8 appearances and provided one assist in the Saudi Pro League.
