The Bees will pay an initial 22.5m pounds plus a potential 5 million in add-ons for the 21-year-old attacking midfielder, who🎃 has struggled for minutes since his 2022 arrival at Anfield.
Carvalho enjoyed a🅠 breakout campaign with Fulham as they romped to the Championship title in 2021-22, scoring 10 goals in 36 league outings for Marco Si🌞lva's side.
He then joined Liverpool in a £5m deal but only made 21 a🅷ppearances for the Reds overall, enjoying loan spells with RB Leipzig and Hull City inღ the last two seasons.
Carvalho has signed a five-year contract with Thomas Frank's Bees, with Liverpool also retaining a 17.5% sell-on claus🉐e as part of th♛e deal.
Frank told Brentford's website of the deal: "Fabio is a player with a lot of qua⛦lities. He can play in all the front three or four positions in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1.
"His best position is probably as a number 10 or coming in from the left. Offensively, he has great abilities on the ball: he can go past pla♛yers, slide a pass, create chances and get on the end of chances.
"He's a type of player that we don't have many of in the squad so he will add that something extra for us. We're very pleased to see him come in 💃and push the team forward."
Carvalho – who was capped up to under-18 level by England before switching allegiance to Portugal to represent their under-21 side – is Brentford's seജcond major signing ahead of 2024-25, after they spent €33m (£28m) to sign Club Brugge forward Igor Thiago.
