Versatile defensive midfielder Fabinho, who can also play as a centre-back, has signed a new long-term contract with Premier League club Liverpool. The midfielder put pen to paper on fresh terms at the Reds’ pre-season training camp in Evian on Tuesday. “I’m delighted to have signed a new contract with the club,” Fabinho told Liverpoolfc.com. “Since the beginning of the conversation, I was really positive about it because it’s what I wanted – staying in this club, keep playing for Liverpool. Now this is official and I’m really happy.
“These last three seasons I’ve been really happy here. I learned a lot with the manager, with all the staff, with the boys as well. We achieved things together and for me I think it’s the best place to be, the best place to keep growing, to keep learning from the staff, from the boys. Hopefully we will keep achieving good things.”
Fabinho arrived at Anfield from AS Monaco in the summer of 2018. In no time, he established himself as a vital member of Jurgen Klopp’s set-up. He was part of the Liverpool side that won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Premier League across two seasons. The 27-year-old midfielder, who has registered 122 appearances during his first three campaigns at Merseyside, has now committed his future to the club.
He continued, “The manager and the staff are pushing us for this because they know our capacity, they know our quality. Personally, as I say, I want to be the best for the team, I want to be an important piece in this team – not just as a player but as a leader as well. Keep learning from the boys and the staff and be the best I can.”
“We know with these players we can go really far in all the competitions. In the last year we didn’t win any trophies, so I think everyone is hungry to win more trophies, win more things, to keep our fans happy. Hopefully we will do this this season.”
Preparing for his fourth season at the club, the Brazilian wants to offer even more for Jurgen Klopp’s side in their quest for silverware. Fabinho added, “In my game I have improved, I think I’m a bit more experienced now and now I’m 27 – I arrived at the club [at] 24.”
“When you play on this level, of course it’s natural you will grow, you will learn a lot of things. I don’t want to stop here, I know where I can be better, I can help the team to be better as well. I will try to do my best for this team.”
