Fabinho signs new ‘long-term contract’ with Liverpool to follow Trent Alexander-Arnold committing future to Anfield
LIVERPOOL midfielder Fabinho has signed a long-term contract, committing his future to the club.
The 27-year-old has made 122 appearances over three seasons at Anfield.
Fabinho was part of Jurgen Klopp's first-team that won the Champions League in 2019.
And played a pivotal role back in 2020, helping the Reds win their first league title in 30 years.
The Brazilian is eyeing more success at Liverpool under Klopp.
He told the club's official website: "I'm delighted to have signed a new contract with the club.
"Since the beginning of the conversation, I was really positive about it because it's what I wanted – staying in this club, keep playing for Liverpool. Now this is official and I'm really happy.
"These last three seasons I've been really happy here. I learned a lot with the manager, with all the staff, with the boys as well.
"We achieved things together and for me I think it's the best place to be, the best place to keep growing, to keep learning from the staff, from the boys. Hopefully we will keep achieving good things."
Fabinho also recognised Liverpool's trophy-less campaign last season, but insists the staff and players are determined to get back on track.

He added: "The manager and the staff are pushing us for this because they know our capacity, they know our quality.
"Personally, as I say, I want to be the best for the team, I want to be an important piece in this team – not just as a player but as a leader as well. Keep learning from the boys and the staff and be the best I can.
"We know with these players we can go really far in all the competitions. In the last year we didn't win any trophies, so I think everyone is hungry to win more trophies, win more things, to keep our fans happy. Hopefully we will do this this season."
