Fabinho set for Ligue 1 return?

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has been linked with a potential return to Ligue 1 with Paris Saint-Germain during the winter transfer window.

The Brazilian only moved to the Reds from AS Monaco earlier in the summer but he has since struggled for gametime with just three starts and three substitute appearances in all competitions.

Amidst this, Le Parisien suggest that Paris Saint-Germain are keeping a close eye on the proceedings as they prepare for life with Adrien Rabiot in their midfield.

Rabiot has been in a contract standoff with the French champions over the past year and reports have emerged that he could leave Parc des Princes on a free when his contract expires next summer.

Fabinho has recently suggested that he is still adapting to life in Merseyside but Le Parisien claim that the 25-year-old has become 'bored' in the North-West of England and may seek a return to French football.

Paris Saint-Germain have followed Fabinho's progress since his days with Monaco and they may propose to take him on an initial loan move in the New Year.
