Liverpool ready to consider loan offers for Fabio Carvalho this summer
Liverpool could still allow young forward Fabio Carvalho to leave on loan this summer, according to Football Insider. Despite Reds boss Arne Slot giving the 21-year-old the chance to impress during pre-season, his future remains uncertain as the club prepares for the 2024/24 campaign.
It was revealed earlier this summer that Slot is keen to give the youngster an opportunity in pre-season, and a decision regarding Carvalho’s future will be made once the squad returns to Merseyside after their tour of the United States. The Reds remain committed to the forward’s long-term future at Anfield and are not looking to let him go permanently.
Several clubs from both England and overseas are keen to take Carvalho on loan for the 2024/25 season. However, any potential loan deal is likely to be finalized later in the summer transfer window as Liverpool focus on their own transfer business. Should we fail to bring in a versatile forward, the 21-year-old could be handed an opportunity to leave his mark in red.
Carvalho’s performance during his six-month loan stint at Hull City in the latter half of the 2023/24 campaign has attracted considerable interest. While he struggled for regular game time at RB Leipzig in the first half of the season, he managed to score nine goals and provide two assists in 20 Championship games for Hull City, rekindling faith in his immense potential.
The Portugal Under-21 international joined Liverpool from Fulham in 2022 and is under contract at Anfield until June 2027. Despite limited opportunities in the senior team, with only three goals in 21 appearances, the club still believe in his potential and are keen on retaining him for the future. Given the riches at Slot’s disposal regarding his frontline, it is easy to see why Carvalho is unlikely to get regular playing time at Anfield anytime soon.
However, sitting on the bench at Anfield will only hinder his progress. Carvalho’s development and match experience are crucial for his growth, and a loan move could provide the necessary platform for him to gain valuable playing time. He could take his game to a higher level by playing regularly and returning perhaps a season later to stake a larger role in the squad.

Allowing Carvalho to go out on loan makes strategic sense for Liverpool. The young forward has shown promise, and regular game time at another club could accelerate his development. By retaining him on loan, Liverpool ensures that Carvalho continues to grow and gain experience, while still being available for future plans. It’s a move that benefits both the player and the club, setting the stage for Carvalho to eventually become a key player for the Reds.
