The transfer deal of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho Tavares from Liverpool FC to Al-Ittihad Saudi Club is now at risk of failing, due to a strange reason unrelated to the negotiations between the English and Saudi clubs for the player’s move to Al-Ittihad.
The potential obstacle to completing the deal lies in the type of dog owned by the Brazilian player, which is on the list of prohibited breeds in Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, according to media reports, Fabinho must resolve this issue before he can sign his contract to join Al-Ittihad Saudi Club.
The dog that Fabinho owns belongs to a breed that is not allowed to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as it is considered dangerous to humans.
Al-Ittihad Saudi Club has reached an agreement with Liverpool FC regarding Fabinho’s transfer to the club starting from the upcoming season.
The Brazilian midfielder has successfully passed his medical examination, clearing the way for his official signing with Al-Ittihad Saudi Club.
However, the last hurdle now is ensuring that Fabinho can bring his dog with him to Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ittihad Saudi Club aims to secure the services of Fabinho to bolster their ranks in the Saudi Arabian league, and this transfer deal is likely to result in the departure of Egyptian international Tarek Hamed from the club.
So far, Al-Ittihad has completed two significant signings, the French star Karim Benzema from Real Madrid and his compatriot N’Golo Kante from Chelsea, in addition to Portuguese player Joao Felipe Jota from Celtic FC.
