Nantes’ Fábio set to join Grêmio

Ouest France are reporting that Nantes’ former Manchester United right-back Fábio (32) is set to join Brazilian side Grêmio in the January transfer window.

Fabio joined Les Canaris from Middlesborough in 2018, and his contract is set to expire at the end of the current season. With that in mind, the club have decided to cash in on the player now, rather than losing him on a free during the summer. The amount that Nantes will receive for the transfer has yet to be revealed.

The former Manchester United right-back, who is also adept at playing left-back, has played more than 90 games for the Ligue 1 side. He was a part of the team that won the Coupe de France last year. Following that success, the Brazilian renewed his contract for a further year, but this season has been blighted by frequent injuries. As a result, he has only started three Ligue 1 games this term.
