In a brutal pre-season snub, Fabio Carvalho has been officially dropped from Liverpool's touring party, signalling a definitive end to his first-team prospects under Jurgen Klopp.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, once hailed as a future star following his £7.7 million move from Fulham, has been left out of the squad travelling to Germany for a crucial training camp. This decision effectively places him in the shop window, with the club now actively seeking a permanent exit or another loan deal.
Klopp's Final Decision on Carvalho's Future
The writing has been on the wall for Carvalho since his return from a disappointing loan spell at RB Leipzig. Despite joining the Bundesliga side with high hopes, the Portuguese youngster struggled for game time, making just one league start.
His omission from the pre-season tour is the clearest indication yet that he does not feature in Jurgen Klopp's plans for the upcoming campaign. The Liverpool boss is streamlining his squad, and Carvalho has been deemed surplus to requirements.
What's Next for the Former Fulham Prodigy?
With the door at Anfield firmly shut, Carvalho's representatives are now scrambling to secure his next move. A return to the Championship, where he excelled with Fulham, or a move to another Premier League club are the most likely options.
This dramatic fall from grace will serve as a stark warning about the immense pressure and high standards at a club like Liverpool. For Carvalho, the focus now shifts to rebuilding his career away from Merseyside.
