Fabinho, who has been with Liverpool for five years, was left off the team for their preseason training camp in Germany according to reports.

The Brazilian established himself as one of the top-holding midfielders in the league after joining them from Monaco in 2018 and has been a crucial part of their squad.

The midfielder has been linked with a move away from the club in the last few days and could be on his way to Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal have made enquiry about the availability of the player from Liverpool and are close to agreeing a deal with the club.

As it stands, Fabinho has been left out of the pre-season team travelling to Germany in preparation for the new season.

Liverpool looking for Fabinho replacement

Liverpool will need to replace Fabinho if he leaves Anfield this summer and they have set their eyes on multiple targets.

The Daily Mail reports that Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, Sofyan Amrabat, and Romeo Lavia of Southampton are among the players the Reds are considering.

The inclusion of Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City on Liverpool's list is another surprise as he joins the list of players that could join the Reds.
