Liverpool attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho is expected to join Brentford this summer, and he will soon undergo his second medical.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Fabio Carvalho will undergo a second medical with Brentford on Monday ahead of a permanent exit from Liverpool.
According to the latest reports, Brentford will pay around £20 million to get the deal done. The latest update by Fabrizio Romano has revealed that £20 million will be the base fee, with the agreement also including add-ons worth £7.5 million. Liverpool will also have a 17.5 per cent sell-on clause.
Fabio Carvalho needed to leave Liverpool to play regularly, and Brentford could provide him with that opportunity. They have a quality squad and a quality manager at their disposal. Thomas Frank could help the talented young attacking midfielder improve further.
The 21-year-old is capable of operating as a central attacking midfielder and a winger. He will add goals and creativity to the Brentford attack. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Liverpool will not be able to provide him with that opportunity. His move to Brentford certainly makes sense, and he will look to fulfil his potential with regular football at the London club.
Meanwhile, the £20 million investment might look like a premium right now. But Carvalho has the quality to justify the investment in the coming seasons. He is only 21, and he will only get better with coaching and experience.
Fabio Carvalho could be a future star
The 21-year-old was rated highly in English football before his move to Liverpool, and he will look to get back to his best with regular football next season. He has shown his quality at Fulham in the past. He was quite impressive during his loan spell in the Championship last season.
It remains to be seen whether he can complete his medical with Brentford and get the deal done. Liverpool will look to use the proceeds from his departure to improve their squad. They need to beef up their attacking unit, and signing a versatile attacker would be a wise decision.
Liverpool will hope to challenge for major trophies this season, and they need a deeper squad with more quality. As for Carvalho, Liverpool fans will certainly hope that they do not regret the club’s decision to let the 21-year-old leave this summer.
