​A former member of Real Madrid’s midfield ranks has hinted that he would eagerly seize the chance to return to the club at some point in the future. The player in question is Fabinho. Few realize that the Brazilian veteran once spent part of his early career on Real Madrid’s books. After initially featuring for Los Blancos at the reserve level, he eventually made a single La Liga appearance late in the 2012/13 season.
From there, Fabinho moved to AS Monaco in pursuit of more regular senior game time, where he developed into one of the world’s premier midfield talents. In recent seasons, he has spent time in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad. His name has resurfaced in conversations among fans worldwide due to his inclusion in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the FIFA World Cup. Yet this week, the 32-year-old found himself asked about the possibility of a return to Europe.
Specifically, in an interview with El Chiringuito TV, Fabinho was queried about whether he would be interested in reuniting with Real Madrid. The former Liverpool standout did not hesitate to respond, acknowledging the allure of a Madrid chapter: “Would I like to return to Real Madrid? Who wouldn’t like being at Real Madrid? It’s the best club in the world.”
Fabinho’s candid remarks have reignited speculation among supporters and pundits alike about a potential homecoming for the midfield maestro. His career trajectory, which already spans top-tier European football and standout spells in different leagues, leaves open the possibility that a future move back to the Santiago Bernabéu could become a reality at some stage. As the football world continues to monitor his form and future intentions, Madrid fans will be keen to see whether the door remains open for a symbolic return to a club he once called home.
