Scouting Report & Player Insights
Fabinho is a tall, physically imposing defensive midfielder whose game is built on positional discipline, interceptions, and shielding the back line rather than flair or explosiveness. He earned his reputation as the anchor of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool midfield before moving to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, where his influence and sharpness have visibly declined from his Premier League peak. He remains a composed passer and a smart reader of the game even as his athletic output has faded with age.
Won the Champions League and Premier League with Liverpool as part of Klopp's midfield alongside Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Moved from Liverpool to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League in 2023.
Capped for the Brazil national team.
Originally developed as a right-back before being converted into a defensive midfielder, notably at Monaco.
