# Liverpool: Reds agree deal in principle to sign Fabio Carvalho

**Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal in principle to sign exciting young Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho in the summer transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Carvalho linked with January move to Liverpool

The Reds brought in Luis Diaz in January, a transfer which has already proven to be a [masterstroke](https://www.footballinsider247.com/luis-diaz-pundit-issues-remarkable-liverpool-claim-after-really-special-reveal/), but they were also strongly [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-fresh-fabio-carvalho-talks/) with a mid-season move for Carvalho.

In the end, the 19-year-old stayed put at Fulham, and he has thrived for the Championship leaders this season, [scoring seven goals and adding six assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401385/Show/Fabio-Carvalho) for good measure.

Liverpool’s interest in the teenager was expected to be revived in the summer, and that looks highly likely to be the case.

### The Latest: Transfer reportedly agreed

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool/), a recruitment source has informed them that Liverpool have an ‘agreement in principle’ with Carvalho over a summer switch to Anfield.

The Reds will sign the youngster on a free transfer when his current Fulham deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabio-carvalho/profil/spieler/559263) at the end of June.

### The Verdict: One for the future

It is vital that Liverpool continue to build towards the future, and Carvalho is an exceptional talent who could be a great signing, having last year been [hailed](https://www.westlondonsport.com/fulham/silva-hails-fantastic-carvalho-after-fulham-see-off-millwall) as ‘fantastic’ by Fulham manager Marco Silva.

The forward’s seemingly imminent move to Anfield would have echoes of the Reds’ [2019 signing of Harvey Elliott](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/358354-liverpool-fc-confirm-signing-of-harvey-elliott), who also swapped Fulham for Liverpool as a teenage starlet; and the pair could prove to be two of the Reds’ creative forces for many years to come, dovetailing to devastating effect.

Carvalho would likely come in as a squad player for starters given his tender age, but he could mature into a key figure at Anfield as some current Liverpool stars pass their peak and wane, wreaking havoc in a number eight role.
