Fulham will benefit from Fabio Carvalho’s transfer to Brentford

Brentford have agreed a deal with Liverpool to sign Fabio Carvalho, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

It has been a quiet summer at Anfield for new manager Arne Alot. The Reds have yet to sign a single player, although they are working on a deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

However, it looks set to be Slot’s turn with one player less to deal with as Carvalho is set to leave the club despite his impressive performances during the pre-season US tour.

Carvalho set to join Brentford

Carvalho joined Liverpool from Fulham for £5million in 2022 and spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull City.

The 21-year-old scored nine goals for the Tigers last season, which saw them miss out on the play-offs, and is now ready for a new challenge in London.

Carvalho attracted the attention of newly promoted club Southampton, whose bid was rejected, and Leicester, but Romano has indicated he is on the verge of a move to Brentford.

He went to X.com and said:

“Fabio Carvalho to Brentford, here we go! Liverpool sell Carvalho on a permanent deal.

“Understand the fee will be £20m fixed plus add-ons as part of the package. Carvalho has accepted as @abolapt reports; he will soon undergo medical tests in Brentford.”

Liverpool are reportedly set to receive a fixed fee of £20m, with a further £7.5m in add-ons. The Anfield club also have a 17.5% sell-on clause, which is likely to be used to land Spain international Zubimendi.

Fulham can also count on a windfall as they negotiated a 20% sell-on clause when they sold the attacking midfielder to Liverpool.

Carvalho has played just 21 games for Liverpool, scoring three goals, and will make the difference in the final stages for a Brentford side that finished 16th last season.
