Fabrizio Romano has provided a detailed update about Liverpool’s signing of Fabio Carvalho on .

The transfer expert says “everything is done” between Liverpool, Fulham and Carvalho regarding his summer switch to Anfield.

At the start of April, Romano and numerous news outlets including reported that Carvalho to Liverpool is a done deal.

The Reds will reportedly hold back on an announcement for a few weeks out of respect for Fulham’s promotion push.

In January, Liverpool came within a whisker of completing a deal for Carvalho, but they ran out of time.

Nonetheless, speculation linking the Reds and the 19-year-old continued even after the closing of the window.

Now, before the window reopens, Liverpool will welcome one of the world’s best youngsters to Anfield.

Romano said on FIVE: “The deal is done, 100 percent.

“The player has already visited the training ground, met with Jurgen Klopp, had his medical with Fulham’s permission.

“So everything is done between Fabio Carvalho and Liverpool.”

“They’ve signed a top talent”

Romano then spoke of how Liverpool have been respectful in doing a deal as per the verbal agreement in January.

With Carvalho’s contract expiring, they could’ve snapped him up on a free transfer if they wanted to.

Liverpool will pay Fulham £5million plus £2.7million in add-ons, and there’s a 20 percent sell-on clause too, added Romano.

“It’s a good deal I think for Fulham and a very interesting deal for Liverpool because they’ve signed a top talent,” he continued.

“He will sign for five years. And I’m told there’s no plan to loan him back to Fulham or any other club.

“The plan is to keep Fabio Carvalho in the team for next season. To have him as part of the pre-season and Jurgen Klopp’s team.

“They are super happy with the signing because some clubs in February were trying to hijack the move. But now everything is completed.”

Romano then gave his thoughts on Carvalho and revealed what “many players” have told him about the youngster.

“In my opinion it’s a really, really interesting one,” he continued. “I really like Fabio Carvalho.

“Many players are telling me that he’s not just super talented as we can see on the pitch but also really professional and really serious.

“I’m sure Jurgen Klopp is the perfect manager for him.”
