Fabinho signs an extension with Liverpool

Through a Tweet on the club's official Twitter account, Liverpool confirmed they have signed Brazilian midfielder Fabinho to an extension.

While details on the deal were not initially made public by the club, it is believed that the player inked a deal that will keep him with the Reds until 2026. In a statement that appeared on the club's website, Fabinho declared:

"I'm delighted to have signed a new contract with the club. 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."

The defensive midfielder arrived at Liverpool from Monaco in 2018, and since then he has appeared in 122 matches across all competitions for the club, becoming a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp's starting eleven that won a Premier League and a Champions League title.
