The Saudi journalist wanted to give Fabinho an unprecedented tribute and gifted him a valuable watch after the match for his great performance at Al-Ittihad.
Saudi journalist Ibrahim Al-Faryan surprised Brazilian footballer Fabinho by giving him a luxurious Tudor watch, valued at approximately $4,000, after his outstanding debut with Al-Ittihad. The broadcaster approached the midfielder in the stadium tunnel, handing him the high-end piece, which, although it fell to the ground for a moment, was received with a big smile and surprise by the player.
Despite initial reports on social media that confused the brand with Rolex, it was confirmed that the gift was a Tudor, a piece of great economic value. Fabinho quickly checked that the expensive accessory had not been damaged after the impact before leaving the sports venue.
This peculiar incident, which quickly went viral, highlights the generosity and immense economic power surrounding Saudi football.
