According to reports, Liverpool is poised to negotiate a move for Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho. The club failed to complete a deal for the 19-year-old on deadline day.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool and Fulham are expected to return to the negotiating table to restart talks for the sale of Fabio Carvalho. On deadline day, Liverpool was unable to conclude a deal for the youngster. But they remain confident of getting him to Anfield later this summer.

One senior signing was made by Liverpool during the January transfer window. They would have loved to have done more business in January. In the winter transfer market, however, the challenge of acquiring the appropriate players for high-profile clubs, particularly those in the Premier League, was clearer to us.
While Liverpool has been praised for their late-season recruitment of Luis Diaz from FC Porto, which came from under the noses of Tottenham, they did lose out on another potential signing from Fulham, who was available at the end of the transfer window.
The Reds were very close to securing the deal at the end of the January Transfer window
Liverpool was on the verge of completing the acquisition of Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho on deadline day for a reported £5m fee. Even though all evidence pointed to the successful completion of the relocation, it came crashing down late on the deadline day. The late drama did put Carvalho’s future in jeopardy for a short period. Rival teams were anticipated to take advantage of the scenario.
It has been stated that Real Madrid is interested in the young adolescent and that the club may attempt to make a Bosman transfer in the summer. Due to Carvalho’s contract expiring after the season, teams from outside of England may be able to sign the 19-year-old offensive prodigy on a free transfer as soon as the season concludes.
However, even though Carvalho’s contract with Fulham expires in the summer, if any English teams are interested in signing him, the club will be entitled to a substantial compensation payment. As a result, both Liverpool and Fulham are prepared to re-open negotiations regarding a summer deal for the teenage sensation.
What is Liverpool going to offer Fulham for securing Fabio Carvalho?
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that the Reds are still attempting to conclude a deal for midfielder Fabio Carvalho, even though they are aware of the possibility of additional suitors entering the picture. Merseyside giants are eager to sign the 19-year-old offensive phenom, which is seen as perfect for the club’s long-term future by head coach Jurgen Klopp.
In terms of the transfer money, it is unclear what Liverpool would agree upon with Fulham in exchange for Carvalho. However, although the compensation is believed to be minimal at best, it may be in the vicinity of the £5m figure that Liverpool offered towards the close of the last transfer window.
Let’s see whether they can now push for this deal to happen or it fails once again!!
