After Hendo? Al-Ittihad launching bid for Liverpool midfielder Fabinho

Liverpool face losing TWO senior midfielders to the Saudi Pro League in the coming days.

Reds captain Jordan Henderson is ready to join Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq.

And now it's emerging today that SPL rivals Al-Ittihad are moving for Liverpool teammate Fabinho.

The Athletic says Al-Ittihad plan to offer £40m for the 29 year-old.

The Brazil international, who has a contract until 2026, is expected to make a decision relatively quickly.

Liverpool do not want to let Fabinho go without bringing in a replacement. Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, 19, is a prime target.
