Fabio Carvalho is on the Clarets’ radar – but they could be set to lose out in this race.
A Champions League side has opened talks with Liverpool regarding a potential permanent switch for Fabio Carvalho, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The young midfielder only made the move to Anfield last summer after playing a big part in guiding Fulham back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
And although he has appeared for the Reds’ first team during the 2022/23 campaign, he hasn’t won as much game time as he would have wanted, only making 21 appearances in all competitions despite the fact Jurgen Klopp’s side competed in domestic competitions as well as the Champions League.
With this, an exit could potentially be sanctioned when the summer window opens, with no shortage of interest in his signature at this stage.
Which teams are interested in Fabio Carvalho?
Brentford, West Ham and recently promoted Burnley are all believed to be keeping tabs on him ahead of a potential approach, with all three able to offer him the chance to play in the English top flight next season.
The Clarets are in real need of new players after seeing some key loanees depart including Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Nathan Tella, both of whom played a big part under Vincent Kompany.
However, this unidentified UCL side may now be at the front of the queue after moving quickly for the player, although it remains to be seen whether the player wants the move.
Is this a big blow for Burnley?
He could have been a very exciting addition because it’s clear that he has a huge amount of potential and would have only improved with one year on Merseyside now under his belt.
