Fabio Carvalho has been in a very difficult situation at Liverpool lately.
The young midfielder has just been recalled from a difficult loan spell with RB Leipzig, and now he needs to find somewhere else to ply his trade.
Carvalho is a fantastic young prospect, but over the past 18 months, his career has gone slightly off the rails it has to be said.
So where can Carvalho spend next? Well, speaking on the Ranks FC Ultras podcast, Dean Jones warned that the player could return to the place where it all started and sign on loan from Fulham.
Jones spoke about Liverpool’s ‘special’ youngster.
“He’s already proven it in the Championship, so I don’t think he needs to do that, going back to Fulham, where they know what makes him tick and he still knows some of the players there. I think that’s a good move for him, I know I’m biased, but I think Carvalho going back to Fulham is one that could have legs,” Jones said.
Fabio Carvalho probably has a number of clubs he could sign up for on loan this month, but we have to admit that Fulham may be the most productive position for him.
Marco Silva is the coach who helped Carvalho achieve his true breakthrough at Craven Cottage. So he knows how to get the best out of himself and, as Jones says, he also knows a lot of the players lately at Fulham.
Much like any young player, Carvalho plays his best football when he’s happy and comfortable, and the fact that he’s been at Fulham before, knows the manager and knows the players will help him find his feet once again after a very turbulent time both on Merseyside and in Germany.
This is a resolution that may in fact be in the interests of all parties.
