Twenty one games. That’s how much appearances Fabio Carvalho – Jurgen Klopp’s big wish from two years ago and a player of whom the German spoke very highly – collected during his spell with Liverpool. Whether it was the player’s or the club’s fault that Carvalho didn’t live up to expectations will probably remain unknown, but today’s information is clear: the 21-year-old winger leaves Anfield and joins Brentford in a transfer worth around 32 million euros, 20% of which will go to Carvalho’s former club, Fulham.Wow. Fabio Carvalho is heading to Brentford for £20m as reported by @FabrizioRomano 🤯Has had a great pre season with Liverpool. Looked like he was going to get a chance in the first team… 💔 pic.twitter.com/xCOffXQH4g— Rising Ballers (@RisingBallers_) August 10, 2024 Given that the Reds paid Fulham approximately 6 million for the youngster in 2022, they have obviously earned money on Carvalho. Moreover, they included a 17.5% sell-on clause in the deal with The Bees, enabling the chance to earn even more. Apart from Brentford, Southampton were also interested, but the winger chose the London side, with which he already agreed personal terms, while the medicals await him soon.Slot wants European Champion as his first Liverpool transferThe main reasons for the Portuguese’s departure are the lack of minutes and fierce competition within the team in his position. Namely, even though Carvalho played very well on Liverpool’s pre-season tour in the United States, scoring two goals in three matches, it was clear that he would lose the spot in the starting lineup after regular first-team players Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz returned from their extended vacation. Once Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah were added to the mix, Carvalho would definitely be a bench warmer. And he wanted to play. Just like he did last season on loans at RB Leipzig (15 matches) and especially Hull City where he scored nine goals in 20 appearances. In the end, Carvalho wore Liverpool’s jersey 21 times, finding the net thrice.##NAJAVA_MECA_8262083##
