Productive talks held: Liverpool now await formal agreement to sign 'perfect' player for Klopp

Writing in a column for Anfield Watch, reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest on Liverpool’s attempts to sign Fulham forward Fabio Carvalho.

In the final hours of deadline day, as reliably reported, Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp were very close to striking a deal for the Cottagers ace.

Indeed, eleventh hour talks were held over a move for Carvalho with both clubs even agreeing on an £8 million fee which included add-ons and various clauses in the deal (The Athletic).

However, due to the late nature of this agreement, Liverpool transfer chiefs could not finalise the necessary documentation in time – resulting in the transfer’s collapse.

Since then, the Reds have been tipped to go back in the summer and seal his move, with Romano now sharing the latest out of Anfield.

Writing in an Anfield Watch column, the Italian reporter says Liverpool are now ‘waiting to see’ if a deal for Carvalho can be ‘formally agreed upon’.

This comes after Fenway Sports Group hold ‘productive talks thus far’ with the ball now seemingly in Fulham’s court.

A very exciting player, signing Carvalho surely comes as a no-brainer for Klopp and the Premier League title chasers.

Just 19-years-old, the high-flying starlet has turned heads with his scintillating form over 2021/2022 – bagging seven goals and five assists in the Championship so far.

He’s also put in notable performances against the likes of Manchester City in other competitions with pundit and ex-Leeds United striker Noel Whelan in no doubt Liverpool should make a move.

Speaking to Football Insider, Whelan claims Carvalho is the ‘perfect fit’ and ‘perfect style of player for Klopp’ and we believe he may just have a point.
