Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has agreed to continue working with the club at Anfield as he signed a new five-year contract extension on Tuesday.

Certainly, the Brazilian star has shown that he can be available for help for the Reds during the recent past. The 27-year-old joined Liverpool in 2018 and has been a versatile player around the field for Jurgen Klopp.

Fabinho aided the German manager during Liverpool’s defensive calamity last season by acting as a cover at the back. And now, the midfielder has committed his future to the club until the year 2026.

“Fabinho has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool FC,” the club announced on its official website

“The midfielder put pen to paper on fresh terms at the Reds’ pre-season training camp in Evian on Tuesday.”

Fabinho added: “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 manager and the staff are pushing us for this because they know our capacity, they know our quality.

“Personally, as I say, I want to be the best for the team, I want to be an important piece in this team – not just as a player but as a leader as well. Keep learning from the boys and the staff and be the best I can.

“We know with these players we can go really far in all the competitions. In the last year, we didn’t win any trophies, so I think everyone is hungry to win more trophies, win more things, to keep our fans happy. Hopefully, we will do this this season.”
