Manchester United are in advanced negotiations with Monaco for the signature of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder’s future has been a subject of speculation this summer and he has been linked with a move to a number of clubs across Europe.




Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are said to be interested in him but Manchester United are the ones who are doing all the legwork to secure his signature in the coming weeks.

According to Italian broadcaster Sky Italia, the Premier League giants are in advanced negotiations with Monaco and are close to securing an agreement with the Ligue 1 champions.
 


It has been claimed that the two clubs are close to agreeing a fee, which could touch the €50m mark based on additional performance based bonuses, this summer.
