Fabinho’s Al Ittihad move is said to be at risk of collapsing… because of his pets.
The source that broke the story pins an excerpt from the website of the Saudi Arabian Embassy, stating that ‘pitbulls are not permitted entry into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under any circumstances’.
Well, the truth is that Fabinho actually owns French Bulldogs who are apparently allowed to enter Saudi Arabia as they aren’t considered dangerous and aggressive.
I mean, how come can THIS doggo be called aggressive?
Assist website PetRelocation.com notes that Bulldogs and English Bulldogs are not permitted to enter Saudi Arabia – but again, it’s not about French Bulldogs.
One interesting thing is that the Saudi Arabian Embassy website also states the following.
“Dogs entering Saudi Arabia must fall under one of these categories: hunting; guard; seeing-eye dogs.”
This is where a potential problem lies, although technically it shouldn’t be too difficult to prove you need your dog for guarding you and your family
Anyway, fans in Saudi Arabia (some of them may be Liverpool’s secret agents) are already making the story go viral.
“Trending in Saudi Arabia: ‘We want Fabinho’s dogs let in’ 🤣”
Some fan reactions to the whole issue are wonderful.

💭 Vik (Twitter): “If Fabinho stays because of his dogs, then I’ll cry.”
