Monaco midfielder Fabinho admits he was close to leaving the French champions this summer.
The 24-year-old was linked with moves to Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus but ended up staying with Monaco.
‘During the window it was difficult because I was not sure if I would be staying,’ Fabinho told Nice Matin.
‘I was closer to leaving than staying.
‘Playing in that context was not good. My head was elsewhere.
‘Unconsciously, I was not giving my maximum. I was not trying to give a bad image, I could never do that.
‘I was frustrated at the end of the window but I have turned the page.’
