Liverpool were embroiled in an exciting transfer deadline day on Monday as the club, Carvalho and fans waited to see what would happen with the transfer.

After a long day, the Reds and Fulham came to an agreement on an £8 million fee for the 19-year-old, that would result in a loan back to Craven Cottage for the remainder of the season.

The 11pm deadline came too fast and the deal fell through, but Liverpool remain in pole position to capture Carvalho in the summer.

Silva was intent that Fulham would retain their young star as they continue their push for promotion back to the Premier League.

"But what I said was Fabio would stay until the end of the season. That was our decision, we could control that. That's the reality with that," said Silva in his pre-match press conference.

“Fabio’s happy here. The day after I saw him with the same smile”.

Liverpool are hopeful of securing Carvalho in the summer with much of the deal completed, but foreign clubs are now able to try and agree a pre-contract with the youngster.
