AL-ITTIHAD announced the signing of Fabinho in the most bizarre announcement video ever, with the player cradling a chained tiger.

The Liverpool player has signed a contract with the Saudi squad worth up to £40 million, with a weekly salary of £425,000 until 2026 as compensation.

Fabinho is the subject of one of the most weird announcement videos ever.

In his video announcement at Al-Ittihad, he was holding a chain.

The chain was connected to a tiger.

Fabinho, 29, is the most recent celebrity to relocate to the Middle East.

He will play with players like Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Jota, a former Celtic star, and Ahmed Hegazi, a former West Brom defender, after moving to Al-Ittihad.

The most bizarre aspect of his debut video is when he appears chained up and carrying a tiger, a reference to the club’s name.

Furthermore, the film’s opening news footage seemed to mock him and insinuate that his strategy may have failed due to his dogs.

Despite the fact that they are illegal in the country, the Brazilian has two French bulldogs; nonetheless, it appears that a solution has been found.

At the end of the video, Fabinho appears and says, “I am tiger.”

And the announcement on social media has left followers bewildered.

“What’s with the tiger?” one person tweeted. “Did we give Fabinho to the circus?”

Fabinho has signed a contract extension through 2026.

“Fabinho casually standing next to a tiger in his Al-Ittithad announcement video,” said another.

“Fabinho has signed for Al-Ittihad, but the real story here… what in the tiger is going on?” wrote a third.

“If that’s a real tiger the Saudis are getting me to hold, and I’m Fabinho, I’m telling them they need to add a couple more zeros to those weekly wages,” a fourth stated.

A fifth joked, “Fabinho taking a tiger for a stroll wasn’t something I expected to see today, but here we are.”

Fabinho has joined Jordan Henderson in leaving Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, as the Reds undertake a surprise midfield revamp following hefty offers from the Saudi League.
