Fabinho

[birchwoodgingerste]

yep thats the release clause £25 million euros roughly £17.5 million gp pound.

Read somewhere that Monaco actually loaned him from Rio Ave, they then made it permanent and slapped a £17.6Million buyout clause into his contract. Something about trying to emulate Porto by buying players young then selling them on for a greatly higher price.

So, in answer to your question I am pretty certain that's the release clause.

Hi sambacity4eva.....appreciate your reply mate!;).....should make talks very easy if we willing to trigger that release clause...thanks again!

Having two right backs over 30, bringing in a younger one makes sense.

Fabinho replacing Sagna looks like a good deal all round for me.

Correct mate. He can also play DM if need be.

 

[SWP's back]

We'd need to offload Sagna for this deal to make sense, as we don't need 3 right backs, and certainly not 3 foreign right backs. Trying to send Sagna the other way in this deal would seem like a sensible plan. Monaco will need a right back, he's French so would fit in well, plus can't imagine Monte Carlo is a hard sell to a professional footballer! We'd have an issue wages wise, as Sagna is on a reported £80k a week, wages Monaco simply won't be looking to match. I suspect, if we do manage to get Sagna to head to Monaco, that City would need to contribute to his wages.

Wouldn't be difficult for them to meet his net salary (45k)

Heard sagna is off to galatasaray. This would make the Fabinho deal easier.

Sagna would have to go.. Did feel ofcourse he had limited chances last year.. Tbf.. But age isn't on his side

Anywhere would do for me! Never been a fan of sagna tbh so wouldn't mind him going with a younger and most likely better player in the long run come in.

I just love this guys versatality....he played a blinder as holding midfield against Arsenal apart from him being a RB

 

[Welcometothetop]

Come on city get this lad signed!! in my opinion he ticks all the boxes for what we need at the RB position... he is young, versatile, has champions league experience and comes at very affordable price.... In short he would be a fantastic acquisition and a worthy addition to the squad!
