Man Utd, Atletico Madrid alerted as Fabinho confirms summer Monaco exit

Published on: 13 December 2017

Monaco midfielder Fabinho has revealed he will leave the principality club in the summer.

But the Brazilian stopped short of saying he could possibly depart in next month's transfer window.

The 24-year-old expressed his desire to join Manchester United last summer, and although he admits he is over the failed transfer, he has confirmed he will look for greener pastures come 2018.

"Ordinarily, it's my last season at Monaco. Nothing is signed," he said.

"During the transfer window and even a month afterwards it was a little difficult to live with the situation. But I don't think about it anymore, I've turned the page.

"[As for leaving in January] I don't think so. I have had no contact [from other clubs] and I'm secure at Monaco."

The Spanish press has linked Atletico Madrid with Fabinho, but the man himself says he must recapture his form of last season is if he is to join a club of that magnitude.

"Yes, it's a possibility, but nobody from Atletico has spoken to me or my agent," he said.

"I have to demonstrate that I'm still at the level to play in teams like that. I know that I'm not the Fabinho of last season and it's hard to explain why."
