Liverpool lodge £5m Fabio Carvalho offer to Fulham - and will let him stay for season
Posted Monday, January 31, 2022 by Dailystar.co.uk
Liverpool have submitted a £5million offer for 19-year-old Fulham star Fabio Carvalho, though the Reds are open to letting him remain with the Cottagers until the end of the season
Liverpool have launched a bid of around £5million for Fulham wonder-kid Fabio Carvalho.
The Reds are eager to sign the 19-year-old winger on a permanent deal before the end of the window despite the Cottagers’ head coach Marco Silva ruling out his imminent departure.
The Mirror report Jurgen Klopp would be willing to let the Portuguese-born star return to Fulham on loan until the end of the season if an agreement is reached, with his current contract set to expire in the summer.
That would be of great help to the Championship side who are currently leading the division and pushing for promotion.
Liverpool have launched a £5million bid for Fabio Carvalho
Carvalho, who represented England at youth level, has been at Fulham since he was 14.
He has decided against signing a new deal with the west London side while various other clubs like Borussia Dortmund prepare to poach him for free in the coming months.
But Fulham are keen to receive a fee for Carvalho, making Liverpool’s offer a more attractive proposition for the club.
However, should he move to another English club in the summer, then an independent tribunal could have to rule on a fee.
The youngster's contract expires in the summer
Liverpool signed Carvalho’s former youth teammate Harvey Elliott back in 2019, where a tribunal intervened and ordered the Reds to pay Fulham £4.3million.
The situation reportedly caused a rift between the two clubs, but Liverpool’s decision to allow Carvalho to stay until the summer could provide the platform for a better relationship.
It follows the Anfield club already signing £37.5million winger Luis Diaz from Porto.
The 25-year-old’s arrival was announced on Sunday after he penned a five-year-deal with the Reds.
