RB Leipzig Confirms huge hint at Fabio Carvalho’s future

During the first half of the season, Carvalho only played for 360 minutes while on loan at Leipzig. He managed to complete four full games out of over 15 appearances and started only three times. As a result, it is expected that he will return to Liverpool in January. Talks have already begun to terminate his loan deal early, according to David Lynch of This Is Anfield. However, Leipzig’s sporting director, Rouven Schroder, dismissed this as “typical power games” from Carvalho’s parent club. He stated that Carvalho will have his playing time. The departure of Emil Forsberg to New York Red Bulls briefly raised hopes of an increased role for Carvalho. But Leipzig has confirmed the signing of Eljif Elmas from Napoli to replace Forsberg, almost certainly blocking Carvalho’s path into the first team. Elmas will join the team for a mid-season training camp in La Manga, Spain, that begins on January 2. Whether Carvalho will make the squad is uncertain, and Liverpool is likely to be eager to resolve his situation soon. Leipzig manager Marco Rose has preferred Xavi Simons, another loanee, as the first-choice starter in one of his two attacking midfield positions. Forsberg and Christoph Baumgartner have both played more minutes than Carvalho. If Carvalho’s loan deal is terminated, he is not expected to return to Liverpool’s first-team squad under Jurgen Klopp. Instead, the club is likely to seek another loan, initially favoring a move to another Premier League side.
