Fabio Carvalho eyed by several clubs as Liverpool look for new loan move

Happy new year everyone! The January transfer window is now officially open and one story I wanted to address first today is the situation with Fabio Carvalho returning to Liverpool from his loan spell at RB Leipzig.

As reported a few weeks ago, Liverpool were not happy with the amount of playing time Carvalho had at Leipzig. Although the Bundesliga side were quite keen to keep him, he was barely playing, and so his return to Anfield was officially announced yesterday.

So, what now? The plan is for Carvalho to have a new loan move for the second half of the season. Carvalho will leave Liverpool and there are multiple Premier League and Championship clubs (including Southampton) keen on signing him on loan. I also think that at this stage in his career a loan move is the best solution for the boy. He’s a big talent, it’s not been easy for him for the last year or so but I’m sure with the right loan move and regular minutes he can bounce back.
