Former Premier League defender Frank Leboeuf has expressed his disdain at the prospect of Liverpool midfielder Fabinho moving to Saudi Arabia.
A possible deal for the 29-year-old would see Jurgen Klopp face a race against time to find a suitable replacement
But Leboeuf, who won the FA Cup, League, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup with Chelsea before finishing his career in Qatar in his late 30s, would not understand Fabinho making the move.
Leboeuf
"I understand, if you are over 30 or you are 32 or 33, you are Jordan Henderson or you are some others like Ronaldo and Koulibaly, then going there it’s only fair if you want to get some money and put your family safe,"
"If I see players below 30, sorry, but I would say it’s stupid because they have some years to give to the best leagues in the world and they shouldn’t go there.
"I want to say that I am sad. I remember when he was at the top. He was one of the main players. Liverpool became so successful because it’s due to players like him, who came to the Premier League and showed their talent. Fabinho was one of them.
"When he was in the middle of the park with Henderson together. They were absolutely fantastic. Perhaps two of the best defensive midfielders in the world."
