Fabinho hints at Real Madrid return as Saudi contract nears its end

Fabinho has opened the door to a Real Madrid return once his Al-Ittihad contract runs out, calling the Spanish giants "the best club in the world" (1). The former Liverpool midfielder, recently recalled by Brazil for the 2026 World Cup, appears to be planning his next chapter as his Saudi stint winds down. The 32-year-old joined Al-Ittihad from Liverpool in 2023 and has been a mainstay in midfield, but his comments suggest he sees his future back in Europe. No timeline was given, but the signal is clear.
