According to a report from Liverpool Echo, Liverpool have granted authorisation for Fabio Carvalho to travel to Germany and undergo a medical examination in preparation for a potential transfer to RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga side are interested in securing Carvalho’s services on a loan deal for the entire season. Although Liverpool are not inclined to sell the talented former Fulham player, a move to Leipzig could contribute positively to Carvalho’s progress and development.
Carvalho‘s Campaign With Liverpool Last Season
Carvalho had a challenging season at the Merseyside club in the previous campaign, facing a few injury setbacks. The Portugal youngster failed to secure a first-team position and only made 14 appearances for the Reds, where he scored two goals.
Owing to increased competition for regular positions, the young talent could only average 0.6 tackles, 0.8 shots and 0.2 dribbles per game in the Premier League, making the most out of his appearances. However, he remained efficient in his ball distribution after completing 82.3% of his attempted passes in the English top flight (stats via whoscored).
Good Decision From Liverpool Boss Jurgen Klopp In Sanctioning His Loan Move?
Carvalho is adept at holding onto the ball and has exceptional ball control to manoeuvre through tight spaces. He has the vision to pick his teammates on the run and make decisive passes that can provide them with an opportunity in front of the goal. The 20- year-old has immense potential to become one of the top attacking midfielders in Europe but will have to be dedicated and disciplined to make it to the top.
The decision to sanction Carvalho’s loan move to RB Leipzig can be seen as a positive one from a developmental perspective. Loan moves can provide young players with valuable playing time and experience at a higher level of competition, which can aid in their growth and skill development.
By allowing Carvalho to join RB Leipzig on loan, Jurgen Klopp and the Anfield club are likely aiming to provide him with an opportunity to gain valuable experience and further his development as a player before they call him back to make use of services in the future.
