Fabio Carvalho has joined Brentford from Liverpool on a five-year contract, the London club announced Monday.
On Monday, the London team revealed that Fabio Carvalho has signed a five-year contract to join Brentford from Liverpool. The 21-year-old Portuguese forward will initially cost the Bees 22.5 million pounds ($28.7 million, 26.3 million euros), with a further 5 million pounds in add-ons, according to British media sources. No fee was stated. In addition, Liverpool would be entitled to a sell-on price of 17.5% for a player they acquired for five million pounds two years ago from Fulham, another London-based Premier League team.
Additionally, Carvalho’s contract has the possibility of a one-year extension.
According to the Brentford website, “Fabio is a player with a lot of qualities,” according to manager Thomas Frank.
“He can play in all of the front three or four positions in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1,” the Dane continued. His best position would probably be coming in from the left or as a number ten.”
He is a fantastic offensive player who can get past opponents, slip a pass, create opportunities, and convert them. We don’t have many players like him on the team, so he will provide that additional bit of quality for us.
“He has an extremely strong work ethic and capacity to perform well under duress.
“That goes along with the fact that he is the ideal character and checks all the cultural boxes. Thus, we’re thrilled to have him join and advance the group.”
Carvalho played for Hull in the English second division past season after spending time on loan at German team RB Leipzig. In 20 appearances, he scored nine goals.
Starting the new Premier League season at home against London rivals Crystal Palace on Sunday, Brentford, who ended 13 points above the relegation zone the previous year, will play.
