Exclusive: Inter like €45m Barca, Man United target
Fabrizio Romano confirms that Inter are also interested in signing Manchester United, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea, but could be scared off by the high price asked for the 23-year-old.
The latest reports indicate that Fabinho would cost at least €40, 45 million, and recent events indicate that the Ligue 1 side aren’t suckers on the transfer market, selling Geoffrey Kondogbia and James Rodriguez for hefty fees.
The Nerazzurri were present at the Louis II stadium to talk to scout some of their Monaco targets, as they faced off with Juventus in the Champions League semi-finals.
It doesn’t help Inter that Fabinho is being chased by so many elite clubs who play Champions League football, with the Brazilian’s dad revealing during the season that his son had “a soft spot” for Manchester City.
Jose Mourinho also likes Fabinho - who can play as a full-back or in central midfield, and takes brilliant free kicks - as well as Real Madrid star Toni Kroos.
Recent reports indicated that €45 million would be enough to take the 23-year-old – who can play both as a full-back and in the middle of the park – off Monaco’s hands.
