Al-Ittihad completed a 40 million pounds transfer to land the defensive midfielder from Liverpool, who now shares a change room with fellow former Champions League winners, Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante.
With the money being thrown into the Saudi Pro League by the Saudi Public Investment Fund who own Al Ittihad, Fabinho can very easily afford his own Roley as he reportedly rakes in in £700 000 (R17.1 million) per week, £36.4m (Over R890 million) each season.
This gesture from the Saudi journalist just proves how much money is floating around the Middle Eastern nation, that will undoubtedly attract more football stars around the world.
