Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho is set to be loaned out to RB Leipzig, according to Portuguese radio station, Renascenca. The 20-year-old forward joined Liverpool from Fulham last summer for £5 million after impressing in the Championship. He scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 38 appearances, helping Fulham earn promotion to the Premier League. Carvalho started well at Liverpool, netting twice in his first five league games, including a crucial 98th-minute winner against Newcastle United. However, his playing time dramatically reduced towards the end of the season.
Leipzig, who had an initial bid rejected last month, reportedly approached Liverpool for a permanent deal, but Liverpool insisted on a loan with no option to buy. Liverpool’s midfield is also in need of a revamp, with James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita set to leave. The Reds have already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion, and they are reportedly in talks with OGC Nice’s Khephren Thuram, 22, and considering several other targets at the European Under-21 Championship.
Liverpool remains focused on rebuilding their midfield while making significant changes to the squad. Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho is tipped to join Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig on a loan spell, according to Portuguese media agency, Renascenca. The youngster, who joined Liverpool from Fulham last summer, started brightly for the Reds, scoring two goals in his first five Premier League games. However, his playing time reduced significantly in the second half of the season, leading to speculation about his future at the club. Leipzig proposed a permanent move but Liverpool preferred a loan deal with no option to buy. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s midfield overhaul continues, with several players leaving and new signings expected.
