Monaco star Fabinho still intends to leave as Manchester United target insists: 'The club knows my will'

Fabinho has reiterated his desire to leave Monaco as the Manchester United target hinted at an impending exit from the principality club. 

The versatile right-back spoke about his future in the wake of Monaco's 4-1 victory over Dijon. 

He said: ' I feel good, there is nothing to say about my situation, the club knows my will.

Fabinho seemed to hint at an imminent departure from Monaco in an interview 

'I hope we will continue this way and that Monaco will still be okay.'

The 23-year-old would join Tiemoue Bakayoko, Bernando Silva and Benjamin Mendy in leaving the French champions if he is to join a new club this summer. 

It remains to be seen whether Jose Mourinho will pursue a move for Fabinho given United's impressive start to the season and already hefty outlay on the likes of £70million Romelu Lukaku and £40m Nemanja Matic. 

And Leonardo Jardim's side are desperate not to lose another of their big name players. 

The versatile defender and midfielder could be the latest Monaco star to leave the club

Only last month the club's vice president Vadim Vasilyev maintained they would not sell Thomas Lemar or Fabinho in this transfer window.

He said: 'We have kept all of the key players that we intended to keep.

'Fabinho is a must-have player in midfield who was being courted by all the major clubs. I will also address speculation about Lemar: he is staying with us. We have discussed this.' 

'We must not await further departures, rather arrivals,' he concluded.
