Liverpool midfielder Fabinho could have been playing against the Reds tonight if the summer transfer window had gone differently.
Reports in Italy have revealed that Napoli were among the teams interested in signing the player from AS Monaco over the summer.
Fabinho joined Liverpool from Monaco in a surprise deal but has struggled to break into Jurgen Klopp’s team so far this season.
Market intermediary Giuseppe Cannella told Radio Goal on Kiss Kiss Napoli, as cited on Calciomercato, that the Brazilian was on the Serie A side’s radar.
When we met Mendes with Giuntoli to ask for news on Andre Gomes, the Napoli sporting director also asked for information on Fabinho, who will now be an opponent in the Champions League with Liverpool. He was a valuable player two years ago and Napoli has been following for a long time.
The two sides are set to meet in the Champions League this evening as the Reds aim to make it two wins from two in the group stages.
Napoli head into the game needing a good result after their 0-0 draw with Red Star Belgrade during the opening round of fixtures in the competition.
