Fabinho planning to leave Monaco at end of season

Monaco midfielder Fabinho has outlined his intention to leave the Ligue 1 side at the end of the season.

The Brazilian, who was strongly linked with a move away from the Stade Louis II in the summer, extended his contract to run until 2021 last year.

However, the 24-year-old insists that he has no intentions of departing in the January window and has had no contact from other clubs.

"I don't think so [regarding a January departure]," Fabinho told reporters on Wednesday. "I've had no contact [from other clubs] and I'm secure at Monaco. [But] ordinarily, it's my last season at Monaco. Nothing is signed.

"During the [close-season] transfer window, and even a month afterwards, it was a little difficult to live with the situation. But I don't think about it anymore, I've turned the page."

Last season, Fabinho helped the principality club win the Ligue 1 title and reach the Champions League semi-finals.
