Borini joined Liverpool in the summer of 2012 from AS Roma. During his debut season, he made 20 appearances and scored two goals, though his time was hampered by injury. In the 2013-2014 season, he was loaned to Sunderland before returning to Liverpool for more action, contributing 18 games and one goal under manager Brendan Rodgers. He eventually made a permanent move to Sunderland in 2015.
His career began at Chelsea and included stints at Swansea City, Parma, and Roma before his time at Liverpool. Later, he played for AC Milan, Hellas Verona, Karagumruk, Sampdoria, and Salford City. Borini also represented Italy at various youth levels and earned one senior cap. We wish Fabio all the best for the future.
