Fabio Carvalho’s Fulham career came to an end on Saturday as the Cottagers finished the Championship campaign with a heavy defeat at Sheffield United. Yet with promotion back to the Premier League and the title secured, it hardly mattered for Marco Silva’s side.
Fabio Carvalho has been a star performer for the West Londoners this season, boasting 10 goals and eight assists to help ensure they secured an instant return to the top flight.
The Portugal Under-21s international previously caught the eye in the Premier League last season once Fulham’s relegation had been confirmed, scoring on his full debut against Southampton. Such form attracted the interest of Liverpool ahead of Carvalho's contract expiring this summer, and while they were unable to complete a deal on January transfer deadline day, they have since agreed a compensation package with the Cottagers for the teenager. Worth an initial £5m, with a further £2.7m in add-ons and a 20% sell-on clause also included, while the deal has not been announced yet, it is a poorly kept secret that Carvalho is off to Anfield.
