Fabinho Eyes Real Madrid Move as Free Agent After Al-Ittihad Exit

Former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is open to joining Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. The Brazilian has been without a club since his contract with Al-Ittihad ended and is reportedly hoping for a call from the Spanish giants. According to TalkSport, the 31-year-old defensive midfielder is currently based in Madrid and views a switch to the Santiago Bernabéu positively. He left the Saudi Pro League side as a free agent after failing to extend his stay and is now considering a return to top-level European football. However, Real Madrid have not yet made a concrete move for Fabinho. The club is evaluating its midfield options and has not entered active negotiations. Sources indicate that the player himself would be ready to sign immediately if an offer arrived. Fabinho spent five seasons at Liverpool, where he won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and more. He was part of Brazil's squad that was eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and has since been spending time in Madrid awaiting his next step.
