Wolves are reportedly showing interest in Fabio Carvalho ahead of the summer transfer window opening.
According to Caught Offside, a number of clubs are keen on the Liverpool youngster, who is set to leave Anfield this summer.
Liverpool are open to loaning Carvalho out. They don’t want to sell him.
Carvalho has found minutes hard to come by at Anfield this season. He has made just 21 appearances for the Reds this term.
Most of his involvement in the Premier League came early in the season – he featured in 11 of Liverpool’s first 14 league games.
But Carvalho has managed just two more cameo appearances since.
Despite Liverpool’s struggles this season, and the criticism the midfield has had, Jurgen Klopp has seemingly been reluctant to turn to Carvalho.
So it’s possible he could be heading for the exit this summer – and Wolves are showing interest according to Ben Jacobs.
The journalist said in his transfer column for Caught Offside: “Liverpool don’t want to sell but may be open to a loan deal.
“There are Premier League clubs who admire Carvalho, including Aston Villa and Wolves, whilst RB Leipzig have already had an offer rejected to buy the 20-year-old. Liverpool are calm about the situation and their summer.”
Carvalho has been with Liverpool since last summer, when he joined the club for a reported £7.7 million from Fulham.
Fabio Carvalho is a bright young talent who needs a loan move, he could be great for Wolves
Carvalho has been very unfortunate to play as little as he has in his first season with Liverpool.
His season with Liverpool has rather petered out since the start of 2023 and a loan move for next season would arguably be the best thing for him.
And Wolves could be a good move for all parties.
It’s been reported that Wolves will have a focus on bringing in young and hungry players this summer. Carvalho will be itching to play and prove himself and therefore could be a smart move.
There would be no transfer fee involved, so that could appeal to Wolves given the current FFP issues.
Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged he’s unhappy right now, but hailed his attitude nonetheless. He said (via liverpool.com): “Fábio, for the situation in which he is now, in training on an absolute super level and not being involved, how he deals with it, I have to say, that’s kind of a role model. Not that he is happy with the situation, but he never gives up. It’s unbelievable.”
Maybe this is something to keep an eye on.
