Summary

In his three seasons at Anfield, Fabinho has establishing himself as a crucial player for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. So in this special podcast, Matt Addison tracks the progress of the Brazilian, getting the insight on his career so far and exploring how that has shaped the world-class midfielder he has become today. Starting in Brazil, with his youth and early senior career at Paulinia and then Fluminense, Matt speaks to Tiago Ferreira, who outlines why Fabinho left his homeland so early on, and how he left his former club with plenty of regrets. Then Real Madrid expert Scott Martin outlines why Los Blancos signed Fabinho on loan from Rio Ave, and how they made a huge error that has forced them into changing their youth policy. And finally, Rich Allen from Get French Football News outlines how Fabinho progressed at AS Monaco under Leonardo Jardim, alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Bernardo Silva, becoming a big part of one of the most exciting, attacking teams of the modern era. Signed for £39m in the summer of 2018, Fabinho has been another Liverpool bargain, but the best could still be yet to come.
