#2. Fabinho
Liverpool’s Fabinho started his career as a right-back and he still operates in that role for the national team. He started his career at Fluminense before moving to Europe for the first time to play for Rio Ave in Portugal.
After only one month with Rio Ave, he joined Real Madrid Castilla on a season-long loan and played 30 games for the side scoring two goals. Right at the very end of the season, he played 14 minutes for the first team in place of Fabio Coentrao and assisted Real’s sixth goal scored by Angel Di Maria in a 6-2 win over Malaga at the Bernabeu.
Fabinho spent the next two seasons on loan at Monaco and he converted to a defensive midfielder at the Ligue 1 club. He joined the club permanently in 2015 and spent three more seasons there while also playing a crucial role in their Ligue 1 triumph in 2016/17.
