In an interview with Renascença, the brother of the International Portuguese Hope, Fabio Carvalho, said that he wanted to see the 22 -year -old sign in Portugal.
Fabio Carvalho's career is wing. Considered one of the greatest Portuguese talents ago three seasons, when he had largely contributed to the rise of Fulham in the elite of English football, the native of Torres Vedras has since experienced some difficulties. This summer, the 22 -year -old may have to relaunch himself on his native land, to the delight of his brother, who encourages him.
“There is no doubt, he's interested”
In an interview with Renascença, Diogo Carvalho, brother of the Brentford player, suggested that Benfica's interest in the attacking midfielder could be reciprocal. “I was told that benfica was interested, and that is no doubt, my brother also the east”he launched.
The 22 -year -old brother, who has no less than 4 selections with the hopes of Portugal, also said that the Benfica option was most relevant to him. “It would be the best decisions, it would also be good help for benfica”he said before continuing: “It will be complicated to find an agreement with Brentford, but it would be very good for Fabio and for Benfica. And then 10 million euros, it is not so high. »»
A price set at 10 million euros
Indeed, 10 million euros: this was the amount set by the management of Brentford for his 22 -year -old player. Arrived this summer from Liverpool, the one who chained several loans abroad has failed to win within the Premier League club. This season, Fabio Carvalho had to settle for three small tenure in the elite of English football, before ending the season early due to an injury.
Under these conditions, Benfica could smell the good deal and enlist the player for a significantly lower value than that of 23 million euros, spent by Brentford last summer. An opportunity for the Lisbon club, which would thus find one of its former residents. If he were to engage in Benfica, the Portuguese would thus return to the traces of his past. Indeed, during his younger years, Fabio Carvalho had joined the Benfica Academy, before continuing his dream in England.
