Liverpool midfield starlet Fabio Carvalho is now back in the arms of the Reds with a lot of confidence and determination after a string of challenging loan spells. He has made it clear that he is ready to show new boss Jürgen Sloter that he is good enough to take his place in Liverpool's formidable front lineup.
Since joining Liverpool from Fulham in 2022, Carvalho's career path has not been a smooth one. Last season, he spent time on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull City, with his experience in the Bundesliga being particularly difficult. However, it was these experiences that taught Carvalho to be resilient and adaptable, and he found his rhythm at Hull City, scoring 9 goals and contributing 2 assists in 20 Championship matches, which undoubtedly added to his return to Liverpool.
Sloter, as Liverpool's new manager, has high hopes for Carvalho. In an interview at the beginning of the season, Slotter clearly pointed out Carvalho's potential on the wing and encouraged him to stand firm in this position. However, Carvalho has his own insistence in his mind that his best position is the number 10 position. Nevertheless, he still said that he will respect and implement the coach's arrangement and do his best to contribute to the team.
Slotter gave Carvalho meticulous guidance on the training ground, which not only improved his technical level, but also enhanced his confidence. Carvalho revealed that the two had positive exchanges about the future, and although they did not discuss specific positions in depth, Sloter hoped that he could devote himself to training and prove his worth with practical actions.
In the transfer market this summer, Carvalho has become the target of several clubs, including his former owner Fulham, Leicester City, Southampton and several European clubs. However, Carvalho's heart still belongs to Liverpool, where he aspires to realize his soccer dream.
Carvalho looks back on his loan spell with a lot of emotion. He believes that that experience was crucial for him, not only giving him valuable game time, but also allowing him to grow and improve in real life. Now, he is ready to shine in Liverpool's pre-season and conquer the hearts of fans and coaches with his performances.
