What Was Really On Fabinho's Liverpool 'Contract'

Did you notice Fabinho's Liverpool 'contract'?

From reports to official. The Brazilian swiftly completed a transfer to Liverpool from AS Monaco, penning a five-year deal.

He's signed on the dotted line to become an 'LFC' player.

It was claimed that Liverpool had agreed a £43.7 million deal. Minutes later, the club took to social media confirming the transfer. Unveiling him to the public.

But a picture has emerged showing what really was on the piece of paper.

The paper was actually an old story which included quotes from Jurgen Klopp ahead of the Champions League final.

The opening line reads: "Jurgen Klopp looked ahead to Saturday's Champions League final with Real Madrid and declared: 'We are here because we are Liverpool,'" per Daily Mail.

Obviously, we didn't expect his real contract to be disclosed to the public.

But it's an insight into what really is written on these faux-contracts.

Props to whoever created the contract, though.

The 24-year-old remained at AS Monaco last season despite attracting plenty of interest.

Fellow French outfit Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid were heavily linked with the versatile player, last summer.

Though Liverpool have pipped the aforementioned sides to acquire his services ahead of the new campaign.

And he's delighted to finally secure a switch to a 'giant' team.

"I am really excited about this move," he told the clubs official website.

"This is something that I always wanted - this is a giant of a team. The infrastructures of the club look exceptional. I look forward to the time and the day I'll put the shirt on and get on the pitch and see how the supporters welcome my arrival."
