Brentford FC has secured the signing of 21-year-old winger Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool in a deal worth £27.5m, including add-ons. Carvalho has joined on a five-year deal with an option for a further year.
The initial fee paid to Liverpool is £22.5m, with the Reds negotiating a 17.5% sell-on clause. Fulham, who sold Carvalho to Liverpool in 2022, will receive 20% of the profit from his move to Brentford.
Brentford beat Southampton to Carvalho's signature, with the Saints having a £15m approach turned down by Liverpool. Carvalho struggled to make his mark during his time at Anfield, scoring three times in his 21 competitive appearances.
He joined RB Leipzig at the start of the 2023-24 campaign on a season-long loan but returned in December after mainly featuring from the bench. Carvalho then moved to Championship side Hull City, where he excelled, scoring nine goals in 20 games as the Tigers narrowly missed out on the play-offs.
