Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they would be crazy not to still be interested in Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they would be crazy not to still be interested in Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho, when speaking in a pre match press conference this afternoon. 

The Merseyside club made a late play for the Fulham winger, but didn’t manage to conclude the £8million deal ahead of the deadline.

Carvalho has scored seven goals in 16 league games in the Championship this season and if a deal had gone through, he would have remained at the promotion-chasing London club on loan until the end of the season even if the Reds had completed the deal.

Jurgen Klopp has been very honest about the Carvalho situation.

The former Benfica youth player has been a big part of Marco Silva’s team this campaign, which sees Fulham riding high at the top of the Premier League.

But Klopp still hasn’t ruled out a move this summer.

“We are still interested – it would be crazy if we were not,” said Klopp.

“It was late, the window closed, it did not work out. We’ll see what happens.”

A potential transfer will hugely depend on whether or not Fulham can maintain their form and reach promotion back to the Premier League.
