A report has emerged in the wake of Reds\u2019 player Fabinho’s summer transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad that the Brazilian’s sale might actually be a blessing in disguise for the Reds, according to a Liverpool flop.<\/p>\n
It now appears that the Reds\u2019 sale of the Brazilian might have been motivated by more than just financial considerations as cashing in on the star may work out as a masterstroke with all things considered although they have lost a prominent member of their XI.<\/p>\n
Doubtless Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side have now recouped all of their initial investment in the Brazil international after he completed a \u00a340million transfer to Saudi outfit Al-Ittihad, yet there are many among the Kop faithful who were happy with his departure at the agreed fee enough in view of not only his declining performances as it seems now that were other reasons behind the sale.<\/p>\n
Liverpool flop Jermaine Pennant has given his perhaps ascerbic takeout on the Brazilian in the aftermath of the sale after claiming he’d heard mumblings from Anfield suggesting Fabinho was a ‘bad egg’ in the dressing room. A view that\u2019s obviously in stark contrast to that of the publicly-celebrated player whose dominant performances helped guide the club to top European and Premier League\u00a0honors.<\/p>\n
Although former England under-21 star and Liverpool winger Pennant claimed he has contacts in high places, his comments on the Brazilian star could be only aspersions as his musings are so far based merely on gossip he\u2019s picked up and should be taken with perhaps even a whole tumblerful of salt.<\/p>\n
