Fabio Carvalho has revealed that he DISAGREES with new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot over his best position in the team after featuring at left wing over the weekend.

The 21-year-old is looking to impress in this pre-season after he was unable to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s plans last season.

He was sent for a loan spell in Germany with RB Leipzig, which didn’t go well due to a lack of game time, and then another loan with Hull City in the second half of the campaign.

Carvalho started Liverpool’s first USA pre-season game against Real Betis on the left flank, with the player disagreeing with his new boss over where he is best deployed.

CARVALHO WANTS TO BE NUMBER 10

Speaking about what Slot told him the former Fulham man said: “We spoke and he told me to try and settle on the wing but obviously I know where I play best and I feel that is as a No.10.

“I’m just going to do what he wants me to do and just work as hard as I can for him.”

Even though he doesn’t see his long-term future as a winger, Carvalho admits he is still learning a lot from listening to the new Liverpool man in charge.

“He’s giving me good instructions, motivating me a lot in training, and giving me that confidence.

“We’ve had a few conversations which I’m not going to go into detail about but he wants me to get my head down and work hard and see where that goes,” said Carvalho.

Any transfer decision on the attacker is set to be made after the USA tour as it looks like it is a make-or-break summer regarding Carvalho’s Liverpool summer.

However, even if he isn’t part of Slot’s plans for this upcoming season The Reds aren’t willing to let him go permanently which may leave him in limbo regarding his future at Anfield.
