"Normally, this will be my last season in Monaco. There is nothing signed, but they gave their word". These recent words from Brazilian Fabinho (24 years old) have served to reactivate the always contested bid for a player who was very close to leaving AS Monaco last summer.
Among the participants in this battle would be Atletico Madrid, a team eager to improve the performance of their midfield, and at least two other top teams in Europe: Juventus and Manchester United. Furthermore, it would also not be convenient to rule out that Paris Saint-Germain, a club that already tried its luck a few months ago, will come back into play as soon as possible.
According to talkSPORT, the interest of the Red Devils would have a lot to do with Jose Mourinho. The Setubal-born coach values the versatility of the player and believes that, because of his ability to combine defensive sacrifice and ball control, he would fit in perfectly with his future plans.
The Brazilian, who passed through Real Madrid's reserve team and even played a game with the first team, arrived at Monaco in the summer of 2013 and started a spectacular progression that was clearly benefited by Leonardo Jardim's decision to position him as a central midfielder, a position in which he has unleashed all of his qualities.
