3 Premier League teams chasing Fabio Carvalho transfer
Liverpool looks set to make a permanent decision regarding the future of talented Portuguese youngster Fabio Carvalho this summer.
The 21-year-old winger signed with the Reds in 2022 and has since ventured away from Anfield for a pair of loan stints at RB Leipzig and Hull City. But after a successful half-season with the Tigers, Carvalho has become a prized transfer target for both Liverpool's Premier League rivals and talented teams around the continent.
Carvalho enjoyed a bright start to his career on Merseyside, scoring a pair of goals in August 2022 after arriving in the summer transfer window from Fulham, but quickly fell out of favor with Jurgen Klopp and was on loan the entirety of last season. Arne Slot has since filled the German manager's position, however, and the Daily Mail reports that Liverpool is willing to give Carvalho an earnest chance this summer.
"Yeah, that’s the target," Carvalho told the Liverpool Echo in May about playing for Liverpool in preseason. "The way I see it, it’s a fresh start. Not just for me, but obviously whoever comes in." He added: "Obviously, I want to break into the Liverpool first-team squad, into the starting XI as well. For now, I’m focused on Hull City and getting promoted. I’m going to see how pre-season turns out and then we’ll make a decision (on my future) after that."
Several notable buyers are still lurking after Carvalho, however, so here's a look at three possible transfer destinations...
Fulham
The Cottagers cruised to a second-straight season of survival in the English top flight and are now linked to a reunion with their former player. Carvalho spent seven years at Craven Cottage - graduating from Fulham's academy - and scored 10 goals during Fulham's promotion-winning campaign in 2021-22 before completing a move to Anfield.
Fulham's previous pursuit of Carvalho landed the London club in a recent bit of trouble, however, after entering into an illegal "heads of terms" agreement with local amateur side Balham to sign the Portuguese youth product. The club was issued a suspended six-month ban from registering academy players and a £75,000 ($96,000) fine in April.
Southampton
Southampton made its Premier League return at the first time of asking this past season, outlasting Leeds United 1-0 in the Championship play-off final to secure promotion in dramatic fashion. The Saints are in acute need of high-end talent to survive in the top flight, however, and are interested in Carvalho once again. Southampton was among the leading contenders to secure his loan signature this winter.
Leicester
The Foxes also eyed Carvalho during the mid-season window but earned a much less contentious trip back to the Premier League, winning the second tier with nearly 100 points. Leicester managed to boast a number of recognizable faces despite dipping out of the top flight, including Conor Coady, Ricardo Pereira, Jannik Vestergaard and Harry Winks, and the addition of Carvalho could make the Midlands squad instantly competitive this season.
