Liverpool seal €50m Fabinho deal

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Brazil midfielder Fabinho from Monaco on a “long-term contract” from July 1, the Premier League club have announced.

The Brazilian has been identified as a replacement for Emre Can, who is out of contract at Anfield this summer and has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus.

The 24-year-old is set to cost the Reds €45m, plus a further €5m in add-ons, and is expected to occupy a holding role in the middle of the park.
