Everyone knew, and no one dared to confirm. Until Liverpool came forward and announced: Fabio Carvalho is coming to Anfield.The Premier League runner-up announced the day after the end of the domestic campaign that the former Fulham offensive midfielder will put on a red shirt, and that the job will be made official on July 1, when the summer transfer window begins. The signature until 2027 will put an end to the saga that has lasted for almost a year and which the British media have characterized as the worst kept secret of football there.Last time as a Red at Anfield – a beautiful farewell for Divock OrigiThe reason is that this epilogue has been expected for months. Ever since the last day of January, when the transfer was postponed due to lack of time to sort out the paperwork. Then, an hour before the end of the winter party, Liverpool received approval to finish the job, but they did not succeed and the young Portuguese remained in London.While the wait was on, he helped Fulham return to the elite rank, made further progress, and new employers continued to cultivate good business relations with the club from Craven Cottage, and will even pay compensation to Fulham even though Fabio’s contract expires. This gesture is interpreted as the good will of the Reds, a kind of gratitude that Fulham has kept the player away from the attacks of Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal in the meantime.Sat 22:00: (2.15) Liverpool (3.50) Real Madrid (3.60)The fact is that after the unrealized winter transfer, Liverpool promised Fulham that they would transfer around 6 million euros to their account, just not to allow other clubs to approach Carvalho and wait for the summer when his Fulham deal ends. In addition, the Reds undertook to pay an additional 3 million euros depending on the bonus based on the number of games, as well as to direct 20 percent of the future sales of the 19-year-old offensive player to London. All because there is no club from the top of the Premier League that was not interested in him.We can confirm Fabio Carvalho will join the club this summer.The 19-year-old forward will officially complete a switch to the Reds on July 1 🙌— Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 23, 2022 In the end, they got the player they wanted at Anfield, Fulham will receive more than 10 million euros, and that money would not have been given in any other scenario if Fabio had chosen a different environment, while Carvalho will have extra space under Jurgen Klopp to develop – since under the command of Marco Silva he was, along with Aleksandar Mitrović, one of the most influential players on the team. He finished the season in the Championship with ten goals and eight assists, which is a great performance for a 19-year-old ‘boy’.It is at the same time a continuation of good business relations between Liverpool and Fulham. The Reds sold Harry Wilson to the club from London last year, from where Harvey Elliott arrived at Anfield three years ago.
