Brentford sign Liverpool winger Carvalho for £27.5m
Brentford have signed winger Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool in a deal worth £27.5m including add-ons.
The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull City, has joined on a five-year deal with an option for a further year.
Liverpool will receive an initial fee of £22.5m and have negotiated a 17.5% sell-on clause.
Fulham, who sold Portuguese winger Carvalho to Liverpool in 2022, will receive 20% of the profit from his move to Brentford.
Brentford beat Southampton – who had a £15m approach turned down by Liverpool – to Carvalho’s signature.
Carvalho struggled to make his mark during his time at Anfield, scoring three times in his 21 competitive appearances.
He joined Leipzig at the start of the 2023-24 campaign on a season-long loan, but returned in December after mainly featuring from the bench and moved to Championship side Hull.
He scored nine goals in 20 games for the Tigers as they narrowly missed out on the play-offs.
