Liverpool 'willing to let Fabio Carvalho leave on loan this summer'

The 20-year-old's form for Fulham during the 2021-22 campaign led to a host of speculation surrounding his future, with the attacker netting 10 goals and registering eight assists in 36 Championship appearances.

A number of clubs were linked with the youngster, but Liverpool ultimately won the race, securing his services on a contract until the summer of 2027.

Carvalho has featured on 20 occasions for the Reds this season, scoring three times in the process, with 12 of those outings coming in the Premier League.

The attacker has only started four times in England's top flight this term, though, struggling for action during a transitional season for Jurgen Klopp's side.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Carvalho will be allowed to leave Anfield on loan this summer in search of regular action during the 2023-24 campaign.

"Fabio Carvalho I am told is also leaving. We have to see what solution they will find but he is young and he is never playing so it is important to clarify these things," Romano said on the Here We Go Podcast.

Carvalho was a regular for Liverpool in the early stages of the season, scoring in back-to-back Premier League games against Bournemouth and Newcastle United back in August.

However, he has only played five minutes of Premier League football since October 22, with his last league football coming as a very late substitute in the 1-0 loss at Bournemouth on March 11.

Romano also said that Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be leaving Anfield on free transfers this summer, while James Milner faces a decision, with his deal also expiring at the end of June.

"I see Liverpool going for two or three midfielders because Naby Keita is out, Oxlade-Chamberlain is out and James Milner needs to decide on his future," Romano added.

There will be a turnaround in the Liverpool midfield this summer, with Klopp's side struggling in that area of the field during the 2022-23 campaign.

The Reds had been strongly linked with Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham but have allegedly now dropped their interest in the England international.

Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch is thought to be Liverpool's main target in central midfield, while Southampton's Romeo Lavia and Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga are believed to be on the club's shortlist.
