Fabinho left €6M at Rio Ave… without playing a single minute

Fabio Henrique Tavaresbetter known as Fabinho, has become one of the best midfielders in Europe. The Brazilian celebrates ten years since his arrival in the Old Continent. The soccer player from Campinas arrived at Rio Ave from Fluminense with a commitment of six seasons. It was then that Leonardo Jardim changed his position and warned that he would be one of the best in the world. But nevertheless, his stay in Portugal only lasted a month before leaving on loan to Real Madrid Castilla the first season and Monaco in the next two. The Principality team decided to undertake his signing and paid six million to Rio Ave so that he left a good amount of money in the coffers without having played a minute with the Vilacondenses.
