Brazilian midfielder Fabinho is reportedly close to joining Turkish club Trabzonspor during the ongoing summer transfer window as the club looks to strengthen its midfield ahead of the new season.
Trabzonspor is continuing to work on its summer recruitment plans, with Fabinho emerging as one of the club's main targets.
Fabinho Close to Joining Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor has reportedly entered the final stage of negotiations with Fabinho in an attempt to complete his move to the Turkish club.
The Brazilian midfielder became a free agent after his contract with Al-Ittihad expired, allowing him to join another club without a transfer fee.
The Turkish club is now working to finalize the remaining details of the agreement before officially announcing the potential signing.
Fabinho Set to Travel to Istanbul
Reports indicate that Trabzonspor has started arranging Fabinho's trip from Portugal to Istanbul as preparations continue for the completion of the transfer.
The player is expected to complete the necessary procedures before the deal can be officially confirmed, provided that the final agreement is reached between all parties.
Fabinho Could Reunite With Mohamed Salah
If the transfer is completed, Fabinho could once again become teammates with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, after the pair previously played together at Liverpool.
Fabinho and Salah were part of a highly successful Liverpool generation that won several major trophies before the Brazilian midfielder moved to Al-Ittihad.
A move to Turkey could therefore give Fabinho another opportunity to share the pitch with Salah, although that would depend on Salah's future at Liverpool.
Fabinho's Record With Al-Ittihad
Fabinho made 44 appearances for Al-Ittihad last season across all competitions.
During those appearances, he scored three goals and provided four assists.
His extensive experience in European and international football could make him an important addition to Trabzonspor's midfield if the transfer is completed.
A New Chapter for Fabinho
Fabinho is preparing for a new chapter in his professional career after becoming a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Al-Ittihad.
If Trabzonspor succeeds in completing the deal, the Turkish league will become another important destination in the Brazilian midfielder's career after his previous experiences in some of Europe's strongest competitions.
