| Fabinho is very close to making a switch to the Etihad |
Monaco midfielder Fabinho is
close to signing for Manchester City ahead of bitter their better inter-city
rivals.
Fabinho has been a vital part of
Monaco’s success this season, but is now very close to making a switch to the
Etihad, according to the report from the Barcelona-based journalist Gerard
Romero, who had also revealed City’s significant signings this season,
including the likes of Nolito, Leroy Sane, and John Stones, before City had
officially announced them.
Pep Guardiola is out in the
market to replace Yaya Toure, and the Brazilian seems to be a perfect fit for
City. Guardiola has had midfield issues since his arrival at the Etihad, and
with his passing and forward-thinking philosophy, it’s been hard for the City
boss to get things going.
However, with Fabinho’s
signature, things would get in line for the Spanish coach, who is ahead of
rivals Manchester United in signing the young midfielder.
Fabinho is one of Leonardo
Jardim’s many stars who is expected to make a move away from Monaco this
season, and back in February, the Brazilian’s father had told the French TV
show J+1 about having a soft spot for City.
“We like Manchester United &
Mourinho’s work, but we have a soft spot for Manchester City,” he had stated.
Nonetheless, Fabinho has a
contract with the French outfit until 2021, and will therefore cost City around
£25 million, which does not looks to be a serious problem given City’s
financial track record in recent years.
Thomas Lemar, Kylian Mbappe,
Bernardo Silva, Tiemoue Bakayoko, and Benjamin Mendy are all linked with exits,
and as it appears, Monaco’s exciting young team is likely to be torn apart this
summer.
