The news of Fabinho’s move to Al Ittihad caught the attention of Frank Leboeuf. The former Chelsea defender made scathing criticism of the former Real Madrid player.
He said Fabinho was stupid for agreeing to move to Saudi Arabia when he was still in his golden age. This is different from players who have three heads like Karim Benzema or even Jordan Henderson.
“I understand, if you are over 30 or you are 32 or 33, you are Jordan Henderson or you are some other guys like Ronaldo and Koulibaly then going there is only fair if you want to earn money and keep your family safe,” he said. ESPN.
“If I see a player under 30, sorry, but I would say it’s stupid because they have a few years to give to the best league in the world and they shouldn’t be going there,” claimed Leboeuf.

Sad
Furthermore, Frank Leboeuf admitted that he was very sad to see Fabinho leave Liverpool and the Premier League. Especially if you look at his contribution while in England so far.
“I want to say I’m sad. I remember when he was at the top. He was one of the main players,” he recalls.
“Liverpool became very successful because of players like him, who come to the Premier League and show their talent. Fabinho is one of them,” he added.
“When he was in the middle of the park with Henderson. They were absolutely fantastic. Probably the two best defensive midfielders in the world,” said the former defender of the French national team.
