Liverpool just received Fabio Carvalho offer; now face big decision
Liverpool have received an offer for Fabio Carvalho and now face a big decision on what they want for the player. Carvalho returned from RB Leipzig this month.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Wolves want Fabio Carvalho and have already contacted Liverpool bout a loan deal. They want him for the rest of the season after his return from RB Leipzig.
Carvalho went to Germany in the summer for what appeared to be an ideal loan deal. It quickly turned into a disaster, however, as Leipzig barely even used the playmaker.
No goal, no assists and just 135 Bundesliga minutes. It couldn't really go worse than that - not even the equivalent of two full games. Liverpool and Carvalho both wanted to cancel the deal and did so once the transfer window opened.
But Carvalho's ability means offers have come in. Wolves want him, while there have been linked to Fulham. Romano reports that several 'top six' Championship sides have also put in offers to Liverpool.
That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone as Carvalho's efforts in Fulham's promotion campaign are what built his reputation. Plenty of clubs in the Championship would like that in their squad as they fight for the Premier League.
Liverpool now need to decide what they want. Carvalho would be guaranteed to play every single week in the Championship - and likely perform as one of the best players in the league.
The Premier League wouldn't give him the same guarantee, though it would give him a much better learning experience. After all, Carvalho has already reached the top of the Championship - it's debatable how much he gains from doing it again.
But first and foremost, as Romano says, Liverpool want that guaranteed gametime. Finding the club that can truly promise that is priority one and that'll win a club Carvalho this month.
