“Kylian Mbappe sent me a text message congratulating me on going to Liverpool,” said Fabinho [via Liverpool Echo]. “I have not had the chance to congratulate him yet on what he did winning the World Cup. “What France did was fantastic. What Mbappe has done in two years of professional football is amazing. “He is a phenomenon and needs to be congratulated. As soon as I have the chance, I will."
It was then put to the Brazilian midfielder if there was a chance that Mbappe could join him at Liverpool one day.
"He has already said for the next season he will remain at PSG,” laughed Fabinho. “But I will try slowly to convince him to come to Liverpool!”
Liverpool bolstered their squad ahead of the new season with the signing of Alisson from Roma on Thursday for £67m (€75m), which is a world-record fee for a goalkeeper.
The Brazil international undertook a medical and signed a six-year contract on Thursday to become the club’s fourth new face this summer after the additions of Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri.
