Liverpool’s ambition convinced Fabinho to join

Liverpool’s first signing of the summer transfer window, Fabinho, said that the ambition of the club was a major factor in why he signed.

Fabinho made the move from AS Monaco to Liverpool for a reported fee of £43.7million, and he had no doubts about the decision to move after a chat with Jurgen Klopp.

“When the opportunity came about to join Liverpool, I spoke to the coach and that gave me the certainty that it was the right decision which has been confirmed by being here,” Fabinho told Sky Sports.

“I’d been at Monaco for many years, and I believe it was time for a change. I wanted to move to a massive club with ambition that are fighting for titles. It was between the English league and the Spanish league.

“This is a massive club, and if this is not the best league in the world, it’s one of the two biggest championships in the world.

“We are looking very strong. The preparations have been great and looking at all the elements, not just the first team, we have a great squad. We will be fighting for the title.”

The Brazilian also went on and said that Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva suggested that a move to Liverpool would be good for the midfielder.

“He told me how much I would like Liverpool and how impressed he was by the way people here live, and breathe football,” said Fabinho.

“We were good friends at Monaco and he was one of the best players there. We had a real understanding, and I’m really happy for him that he won the title last season. I wish him plenty of individual success this season, but not the title!”
