Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has discussed the recent speculation linking him with a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Brazilian international joined the Reds during the summer transfer window, rebuffing interest from clubs across Europe to complete a big-money move from AS Monaco.
After a slow integration into the first team, the midfielder has emerged as a key player for Jurgen Klopp’s side as they push to win the Premier League title this season.
Fabinho was, nevertheless, touted with an exit from Anfield on a temporary basis, with Thomas Tuchel having reportedly established an interest in signing the player on a short-term loan deal in the January transfer window.
The Reds star has had his say on these recent rumours and laughed off claims that he will leave Merseyside. Speaking to L’Equipe, he said:
I never thought of going elsewhere. I know a lot of things were written in the newspapers, but it wasn’t true. What’s funny is that this PSG loan story came out just before our Champions League match [on November 28].
I had already experienced a similar story the day before the Coupe de la Ligue final between PSG and Monaco [in March 2018]. It’s a strange coincidence, isn’t it?
Fabinho will be hoping to start for Liverpool next weekend when they bid to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a win against Crystal Palace.
