Unexpected departure? According to information from 20 Minutes, the Brazilian defender of FC Nantes Fabio (30 years), which has just been extended his contract until 2008, could join the club Turkish Istanbul Basaksehir. The different parties are discussing at the moment and the player is interested in this new challenge. However, the transfer has not yet taken place.
Fabio, who was on the substitute bench at kick-off against Rennes (0-0) this Wednesday evening, would like to continue his career with
his twin brother , the former Lyonnais Rafael. Which had joined the reigning champion of Turkey in September.
Arrived in Nantes in 1303
Fabio, who played just as much on the left as on the right side for the Canaries, arrived on the banks of the Erdre during the summer 2008. Last season, he had only participated in about ten matches before seriously injuring his knee (rupture of the cruciate ligament). This season, he has started twelve times.
