Fabio Carvalho Transfer: Liverpool Agrees £27.5m Deal with Brentford

Liverpool Completes Transfer of Fabio Carvalho to Brentford for £27.5 Million

Liverpool Football Club has finalized a deal worth £27.5 million to sell their young attacking midfielder, Fabio Carvalho, to Brentford. This transfer marks a significant move for the 21-year-old, who has shown great promise in his short career.

Transfer Details and Previous Clubs

The agreement includes a 17.5% sell-on clause, indicating that Liverpool will benefit from any future transfer of Carvalho. Other clubs, such as Southampton and Leicester City, were reportedly interested in signing the talented midfielder this summer.

Carvalho had been brought to Liverpool in 2022 for a fee of £5 million. Furthermore, Fulham, his former club, secured a 20% sell-on clause during that transfer, which means they will also receive a portion of the profits associated with Carvalho's move to Brentford.

Performance and Loan Spells

Last season, Carvalho had an impressive loan spell at Hull City, where he excelled, scoring nine goals in just 20 Championship games. Prior to his time at Hull, he spent part of the season on loan at RB Leipzig.

During his time at Fulham, Carvalho was a standout player, netting 12 goals in 44 matches, significantly contributing to Fulham’s promotion campaign.

Liverpool Eyeing Martin Zubimendi as a Potential Midfield Addition

In addition to the Carvalho transfer news, Liverpool is reportedly interested in securing Martin Zubimendi, a talented midfielder currently playing for Real Sociedad in Spain. The 25-year-old has a release clause of £51 million and has garnered interest from other top clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal.

Zubimendi's Impressive Euro 2024 Performance

Zubimendi made headlines during the Euro 2024 final where he stood out after replacing Rodri at halftime. His contributions helped Spain clinch the title with a 2-1 victory over England.

Having been with Real Sociedad since 2011, Zubimendi is seen as a valuable asset, having played a key role in helping the club secure a sixth-place finish in La Liga last season, scoring four goals in 31 appearances.
