Enzo Fernandez refuses to rule out Chelsea exit

The Brazil international has been a mainstay in the Reds midfield over the past four years, but he is prepared to move on.

The 29-year-old has already agreed a big-money contract with Al-Ittihad, and a transfer is now approaching its final stages.

There was a minor disagreement over the payment terms last week, but Liverpool have now sorted the differences.

Fabinho has been left out of the club's pre-season tour of Singapore, and he could leave for Saudi in the next 48 hours.

Liverpool have already signed two midfielders in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in the current window.

To compensate for Fabinho's exit, the Reds are currently negotiating with Southampton to land midfielder Romeo Lavia.

The Saints currently want around £50 million for the Belgian, but the Red are aiming to land him for slightly less.

They need to move quickly with Chelsea also keen on the teenager.
