The Brazil international has received a big-money contract offer from Al-Ittihad, but the Saudi club are still negotiating with the Reds.

They have accepted to pay around €40m for the 29-year-old, but there is currently a disagreement over the payment terms over the deal.

According to Florian Plettenberg , Bayern are keeping a close eye on Fabinho's situation, and could enter the race in the coming days.

In case Al-Ittihad can't secure a formal agreement, the Bavarian giants are willing to make an official approach for the former Monaco man.

Bayern are currently assessing the future of Joshua Kimmich , who is on Barcelona's radar. Fabinho could be considered his replacement.

Fabinho was recently left out of Liverpool 's pre-season tour of Germany, and it is quite clear that he wishes to leave for a new challenge.

We should get a clear idea over his club future before the end of July.
