JAKARTA - Efforts to transfer Liverpool player from Brazil, Fabinho to the Saudi Arabian club had encountered problems. It is known that this happened because of the player's pet dogs.

Quoted from the Daily Express on Monday, July 24, Fabinho is known to be moving to Saudi Arabia to strengthen the Al Ittihad cluster. But the player's transfer process to the Saudi Arabian League champions' club last season was delayed.

The reason is because of Fabinho's request to the club that wants to ensure that he can bring his pets along.

Fabinho was previously known to have two French Bamboos-type pet dogs. Concerns also arose because it turned out that the two types of dogs were categorized as wild in the category of rottweiler dogs and pitbulls according to the regulations in force in Saudi Arabia.

Although it had delayed Fabinho's move, this pet problem finally found a bright spot. The player found a middle ground for his favorite dogs.

Apart from this pet dog issue, Fabinho got the green light to leave Liverpool. Al Ittihad, who will become his new club, has been willing to redeem the player for a transfer value of 40 million (Rp773 billion).

If the process of moving to Al Ittihad goes well, then Fabinho will add to the long list of star players who strengthened Nuno Espirito Santo's team. Previously Al Ittihad had already obtained Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante.

Fabinho is not the only Liverpool experienced player to head for the Reds exit. Team captain Jordan Henderson is also getting closer to joining another Saudi Arabian club, Al Ettikaq.

Henderson has already passed the medical test to play in the team that Steven Gerrard puzzles. This leaves Henderson transferred just waiting to be inaugurated.

Liverpool themselves made quite a change in the team. Jurgen Klopp's team has signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion and Dominik Szoboszlai to strengthen the midfield of looking into the competition next season.
