# Liverpool: Reds not planning to loan out Fabio Carvalho

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are not planning on loaning out youngster Fabio Carvalho during the summer transfer window, according to a recent report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-big-update-on-fabio-carvalhos-liverpool-future-after-latest/).**

### The Lowdown: Frustrating first season

The 20-year-old joined the Reds from Fulham last year, having excelled for the Cottagers in the [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/), with excitement in the air regarding his ability.

However, Carvalho has endured a frustrating first season at Anfield, with the team’s struggles not helping his cause as his playing time has diminished by the month.

The attacker has only started [four](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401385/Show/F%C3%A1bio-Carvalho) times in the current Premier League campaign and he hasn’t featured at all in any top-flight match [since November](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401385/MatchStatistics/F%C3%A1bio-Carvalho).

### The Latest: No loan move planned for Carvalho

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-big-update-on-fabio-carvalhos-liverpool-future-after-latest/)‘s Wayne Veysey, Liverpool have no intention of loaning out Carvalho next season, despite his obvious lack of game-time in recent months.

The reporter states that the Reds’ plan was ‘always to phase Carvalho in gradually’, suggesting that his current squad role is no major issue.

### The Verdict: Patience is a virtue

There is no doubt that Carvalho’s first year on Merseyside has been an underwhelming one, apart from his [dramatic](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12684569/liverpool-2-1-newcastle-fabio-carvalho-scores-98th-minute-winner-as-reds-come-from-behind-to-snatch-win) late winner at home to Newcastle United in August.

Liverpool fans need to be patient with the youngster, though, considering that he is a part of a squad playing with no confidence or energy, as [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jurgen-klopp/) goes through his toughest period as manager at Anfield.

Carvalho has shown flashes of quality – Roberto Firmino has hailed him as a ‘[great player](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-fc-latest-news-firmino-premier-league-2022-b1024793.html)‘ – but he is still maturing physically, and it is unfair to expect fireworks from him on a regular basis at just 20.

A loan move wouldn’t be the worst idea, in truth, but it is a show of faith in the [£40,000-per-week](https://fbref.com/en/players/966e28d0/Fabio-Carvalho) forward that Liverpool are seemingly intent on retaining his services in 2023/24.
