Liverpool has reportedly blocked the inclusion of a buy option in Fabio Carvalho loan move to RB Leipzig, as per Fabrizio. Thus, indicating that they still see a future for the Portuguese midfielder at the club.
Carvalho joined Liverpool from Fulham last year. He has been seeking regular playing time, leading to his desire for a move away this summer. Despite falling out of favor at Liverpool since the World Cup, the club believes he has potential. They didn’t want to grant Leipzig the option to sign him permanently.
RB Leipzig helped Liverpool and Carvalho with a loan move
RB Leipzig has maintained a longstanding interest in Carvalho. They were one of the clubs in the running for his signature before he joined Liverpool. His arrival at Anfield was considered a significant coup at the time, with Liverpool beating out competition from other top clubs.
Carvalho showed promise in his early weeks at Anfield, scoring goals and making notable contributions. However, he struggled to secure regular playing time, particularly following the World Cup, starting only two games. This lack of opportunities prompted his decision to pursue a loan move or potentially a permanent transfer.
Liverpool arranged a loan deal with RB Leipzig that doesn’t include a buy option, for which Leipzig agreed. Liverpool views Carvalho as a player who could be useful in the future. However, with Liverpool actively seeking to strengthen their midfield, including the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister and potential further additions, opportunities for Carvalho to play regularly in the upcoming season could be limited.
The loan move allows Carvalho to showcase his talents at a high level with RB Leipzig, a team competing in the Champions League and aiming for success in the Bundesliga. Liverpool can closely monitor his progress and evaluate his performance once he settles into his new environment. Meanwhile it looks like there is a slim chance of Carvalho returning to Liverpool and making an impression on the first team.
