The Reds are keen to sign Fabio Carvalho before the end of the current transfer window.

Since making his senior debut in 2020, Fabio Carvalho has developed into one of the most promising young forwards of English football. The Fulham starlet will become a free agent next summer, with several clubs competing for his signature.

According to 90min, Liverpool have won the title race for the 19-year-old forward. The Reds are weighing in on signing the player before the current transfer window ends.

West Ham, Leeds United, Tottenham, Southampton and Arsenal are also eyeing moves for the youngster. However, Fulham have reportedly not given up on the possibility of keeping him behind the current season.

Earlier this season, several English sources reported Southampton were leading the race for Carvalho. However, Liverpool have changed the situation against the Saints as they look to add a new forward to their ranks.

The Reds have already opened talks with Fulham over a potential winter move. However, the Cottagers will most likely prevent a mid-season exit as they are competing in a Premier League promotion race.

Fulham are leading the Championship standings with a five-point clearance ahead of Blackburn Rovers. Having scored seven goals and provided three assists, Carvalho has been an important part of the Cottagers’ successful campaign so far.
