It was probably the most spectacular non-transfer of the past deadline day: Liverpool FC practically agreed with midfield jewel Fabio Carvalho from Fulham FC, but the deal fell through on the home stretch. And suddenly FC Bayern and BVB are back in the draw.
Even the medical check had already been completed. Fabio Carvalho was about to sign a lucrative five-and-a-half-year contract with Liverpool under team manager Jürgen Klopp.
He should have finished the season on loan at Fulham FC in the second division of England and then come to Anfield in the summer.
However, the transfer of the Portuguese-born Englishman fell through on the home straight because the two clubs did not get the written formalities clarified in time. So Carvalho remains under contract at Fulham for the time being.
According to one “Goal”report, the cards in Carvalho poker could now be completely reshuffled after the missed transfer to Liverpool FC.
FC Bayern and BVB back in the game at Carvalho?
Then there is also the chance for FC Bayern and BVB to start courting the 19-year-old again. Both are still interested in Carvalho, it is said.
In addition, Champions League winners FC Chelsea should also have the winger in their sights. In addition, Bayer Leverkusen is mentioned as an outsider.
In his second season in English professional football, Fabio Carvalho impresses with very high speed, great ball security and an enormous move to the opposing goal.
Liverpool FC still senses his chance
At the Championship leaders, England’s youth international played a large part in the strong goal tally of 74 goals in 28 league games. Carvalho was even directly involved in eleven goals.
Liverpool FC is still hoping to agree on a summer transfer with the youngster in the coming weeks.
But now there is again the possibility that FC Bayern and BVB could also go full steam ahead with the offensive jewel that will have a contract and is therefore free of charge after the season.
