Breaking: City are close to agreeing a deal with Monaco to sign Brazilian international right-back Fabinho (21) according to L'Equipe

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Would be a good signing if we've got a buyer for Sagna.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Sagna out then? if this is true.

 

[Cityisland]

Any good??

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

He only signed for Monaco last month according to wiki after spending two years on loan there.

Edit: signed for 4m last month and has been linked to United for 15m recently.

 

[Kompany is King]

Interesting

Any good??

In the Brazil squad at 21 with 2 caps would suggest he is competent enough.

 

[didsburyblu]

I'd sign him simply for his name...class surname

He's spent most of his career at loan at clubs as his rights were owned by third parties, so he had to be parked in Portugal (as it's the only place in Europe where 3rd party ownership is legal)

Very useful player, can play RB or holding midfield and was excellent wherever he played last year. Very tall for a RB as well, so could probably play just about anywhere really

Where is Sagna going?

Fabinho is leaving Monaco for Manchester City. (L'Equipe)

After two seasons at Monaco on the right side Fabinho should continue his career at Manchester City. The two clubs are close to an agreement that could materialize in the week. The Brazilian was 21 years in the Brazilian group in the Copa America, eliminated Saturday from the quarterfinals by Paraguay (1-1, 4-3 on pens).

Jolly good, a young backup for Zabaleta. Just what we needed.

Where's Zaba going?. Khaldoon did say that players who've served us well over the seasons will move on. Hope Sagna goes, but a homegrown player gone.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Get Pogba and we'll have Fapinho too

 

[Llewta]

Not seen much of the lad if I'm honest. Our full back positions definitely need tweaking though.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Sagna off then?

Sagna isn't homegrown.

Sagna isn't homegrown, and there is no chance he'll stay ahead of Zabaleta.

Sagna must be off if true. He barely played last season as it was.
