The Liverpool midfielder has struggled since moving to England in the summer.

Liverpool ace Fabinho sat down for an exclusive interview with UOL, discussing his start to life on Merseyside, and insisted that he has no intention of leaving Anfield, amidst rumours linking him with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old joined the Reds from Monaco in the summer, for a fee believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £40 million, but he has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular under Jürgen Klopp, making just four Premier League starts thus far.

And Fabinho’s struggles with Liverpool have led to rumours linking him with a move away from Anfield.

French publication L’Equipe claims that PSG have already expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian.

The Liverpool star told UOL that he has no intention of leaving Liverpool, however:

”I was told there was something in the press, but I never said I’d like to leave Liverpool. I knew I would need to have patience to wait for my moment. I’m happy at Liverpool. There is no reason for me to leave.”

Liverpool are expected to push Manchester City all the way for the Premier League title this season, and if they are going to do just that, Klopp will need every one of his players to perform to their full potential between now and May.

Whether Fabinho has what it takes to step up to the plate, however, remains to be seen.
