AS Monaco: Fabinho pens new five-year deal

AS Monaco defender Fabinho has signed a new five-year contract with the Serie A outfit that will keep him at the Ligue 1 outfit until 2021.

The 22-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United during the summer transfer window but despite reported interest from the Premier League giants, a move did not materialise.

The French club have now confirmed that the Brazilian international has committed his future by signing a new deal that runs until 2021.

The full-back has scored 12 times in 118 appearances, since making his first appearance for the Ligue 1 outfit in 2013.
