# Immense Arsenal & Man United boost as Euro giants surrender in race for nine-goal midfielder

**Arsenal and Manchester United fans fetching a few ales in the Transfer Tavern are gathering round to hear the latest gossip from our landlord.**

He’s been reading an exclusive from [Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-inter-out-of-race-for-man-united-real-and-city-target-54503), which claims Inter Milan have dropped out of the race to sign Monaco’s midfield sensation Fabinho.

Originally a right-back, the Brazilian has continually excelled since moving into central midfield, this season netting nine times across all competitions – including a goal against Manchester City in the Champions League – whilst averaging 3.1 tackles and 1.7 interceptions per Ligue 1 appearance.

There’s been plenty of talk about him arriving in the Premier League this summer and [Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-inter-out-of-race-for-man-united-real-and-city-target-54503) continue to describe him as an Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United target – whilst also listing Real Madrid as potential fellow suitors.

Arsenal and United fans in the Tavern are more than excited by the idea of their club signing Fabinho; he’s been at the heart of a Monaco side that has taken domestic and European football by storm this season, boasting a three-point lead on PSG in Ligue 1 and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

However, with so many big clubs interested, it remains to be seen where the 23-year-old will end up this summer.
