FABINHO has called on his former Monaco team-mate Kylian Mbappe to join him at Anfield.
The French starlet, 21, is a Real Madrid target, with Paris Saint-Germain wanting £257million to part ways with the World Cup winner.

Mbappe and Fabinho won the Ligue 1 title together at Monaco in 2017-18 in Leonardo Jardim’s exciting, all-attacking side that also knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League.
Asked about who he thought would win the Ballon d’Or in future, the Brazilian backed his former Stade Louis II team-mate, before begging him to join him at Anfield.
Fabinho told Telefoot: “Mbappe will have a Ballon d’Or before Neymar.
“I would like to welcome him to Liverpool.”
Mbappe has 18 goals this season for PSG in all competitions and is set to win another Ligue 1 title in the French capital.
It has led to overtures from the Bernabeu though, with Fabinho’s former club Real Madrid, where he was on loan in 2013, poised to strike in the transfer market, thanks to a spot of persuasion from boss Zinedine Zidane.
Meanwhile, midfielder Fabinho disagreed with the choice of Lionel Messi for the Ballon d’Or award, backing his team-mate Sadio Mane to take home the gong last month.
He added: “Sadio Mane deserved the Ballon d’Or. He’s the best player in Liverpool.”
