The Brazilian striker conceded that his family is urging him to leave Seville after suffering a terrifying experience.

"My family is very scared and they don’t want to stay in Seville, I’m trying to talk them round but it isn’t easy," he told Spanish media on Sunday.

"It is something that I have to continue talking about with my wife and my two girls because they are scared. I need to do what is best for my family and then see what Sevilla want to do."

Fabiano is highflying on top of the Primera Liga scoring charts with 22 goals, and has been recently linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
