EPL: Why Fabinho snubbed Man City, PSG, Man Utd for Liverpool

Liverpool midfielder, Fabinho, turned down interest from some of Europe’s top clubs in summer 2018, to join the club, according to The UK Telegraph.

The Reds paid Monaco £39million for the Brazilian and Fabinho went on to win the Champions League in his first season at Anfield.

In an interview, Fabinho’s brother-in-law, Ricardo Assis, said: “Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Juventus also talked to his agent.

“But it was Liverpool that made all the effort to sign him.

“[Jurgen] Klopp showed him videos of the team, explained why he wanted to sign him but he also made it clear that it wouldn’t be straightforward for him to be a regular starter from the beginning.

“Fabinho left the meeting determined to join Liverpool.”
