Soccer-Brazilian Fabinho to stay at Monaco

PARIS, May 19 (Reuters) - Brazilian defender Fabinho will be staying with Ligue 1 club AS Monaco until June 2019 under a deal with his parent club Rio Ave.

The 21-year-old right back, called up by Brazil for this year's Copa America, has been on loan for the past two seasons at Monaco, who are third in the Ligue 1 standings.

Vadim Vasilyev, Monaco's vice-president, said the club were delighted to have agreed a long-term deal with a very promising young player.
