Al-Ittihad president Anmar Al Haily is in England today to close the signing of Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.
Saudi media sources have cast doubt over the 40m deal due to Fabinho's two French bulldogs.
It's been suggested certain dogs are only allowed to enter Saudi Arabia if they are to be used for hunting, serve as a guard dog or if they are seeing dogs for the blind.
Fabinho is now stalling on signing for Al-Ittihad as he waits for 'clarification'.
Al Haily has now landed in London to push through the deal, with all parties in agreement on terms - despite Fabinho's one outstanding issue.
