FABINHO has asked for an "urgent reunion" with Monaco chiefs where he will demand a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in France.

reveal he will make his intentions clear to the Monaco board, and has asked his agent Jorge Mendes to be present for the meeting.

Atletico Madrid and Juventus were thought to be keen on Fabinho, while he has often spoken of his desire to play for Manchester United and under Jose Mourinho again.

However, he is now thought to only want a move to PSG.

The same source added that the 23-year-old spoke to Brazil manager Tite, who advised him to join the big-spending French capital side and bolster his World Cup chances.

Like Kylian Mbappe, Fabinho's desire is likely driven by the differing ambitions of the two Ligue 1 title rivals.
