Fabinho complicates things for Liverpool as Exit nears

Latest entertainment gist

Liverpool’s preparations for the upcoming season have taken an unexpected turn as it has been revealed that Fabinho will not be traveling with the squad to Germany. Talks with Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad have advanced, and personal terms have already been agreed upon.

Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson will join the squad for the preseason tour as he has also reached an agreement with Al Ettifaq, although the clubs have yet to finalize a fee.

News of Fabinho’s potential departure has raised questions about Liverpool’s midfield depth and prompted the club to explore alternative options. Despite recent rumors, Liverpool is not actively negotiating for the services of Moisés Caicedo, contrary to previous speculation. Instead, talks are ongoing with Chelsea regarding other potential deals.

Liverpool has been evaluating potential long-term replacements for Fabinho, but the situation now requires the acquisition of an immediate starter. Several names have been linked to the club, including Sofyan Amrabat, Ryan Gravenberch, Kalvin Phillips, and Romeo Lavia. However, it is worth noting that Moises Caicedo is not currently on their list of targets.

The development surrounding Fabinho’s potential move to Al Ittihad comes from reliable sources such as Melissa Reddy of Sky Sports, Fabrizio Romano, and Liverpool correspondent Neil Jones.

These reports indicate that discussions between the player and the Saudi Arabian club have progressed significantly, leading to Fabinho’s exclusion from Liverpool’s squad for their upcoming trip.

The situation regarding Jordan Henderson is slightly different, as the Liverpool captain will join the squad for the preseason tour despite having agreed on personal terms with Al Ettifaq. However, negotiations between the two clubs regarding the transfer fee have not yet reached a favorable resolution, leaving Henderson’s future still uncertain.

With the departure of Fabinho looming and the potential departure of Henderson, Liverpool finds themselves in need of reinforcements in midfield. While discussions with Chelsea continue, Liverpool is exploring other options to ensure they secure a suitable replacement. The club’s transfer strategy is under internal deliberation, with Roméo Lavia emerging as one of the possibilities being considered.

As the summer transfer window progresses, Liverpool will be closely monitoring the situation surrounding Fabinho, Henderson, and their pursuit of midfield reinforcements.

The club is focused on making prudent decisions to strengthen their squad and maintain their competitiveness in both domestic and European competitions for the upcoming season.

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
