The technical committee within Al-Ittihad Club recommended extending the contract of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho Tavares, following the consistent performances he has been delivering with the team this season.

This recommendation came with the aim of ensuring the player's continued presence in the "Tigers" squad, especially given his influential role in the midfield since joining the team.

Press reports mentioned that the proposal includes renewing Fabinho's contract for an additional season, similar to what happened with the Brazilian defender Danilo Pereira, whose contract was recently extended.

The management of the club decided to retain Danilo Pereira for another season, following his strong performance in leading the defense line in the recent period.

Fabinho joined Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023, coming from the English club Liverpool, and he is under contract until the end of next June.

The Brazilian midfielder is considered one of the key players in the team's lineup, having participated in 34 matches across various competitions this season.

During these appearances, Fabinho scored two goals and provided two assists, continuing to contribute technically to the team in midfield.

The club's management is expected to decide the future of several foreign players in the coming period, coinciding with the approach of the upcoming summer transfer window.
