Fábio Carvalho played for Fulham from 2015 until 2022. Mainly utilised as an atttacking midfielder , he was England youth international before switching to play for his native Portugal in 2022.
Career [ ]
Before Fulham [ ]
Born in Lisbon, Portugal , Fábio was with Benfica from the age of 8 until 11 before his family moved to England . He spent a season with Balham before he was signed for Fulham in 2014.
Fulham (2015-2022) [ ]
Fábio signed a two-year scholarship deal with the club in the summer of 2018.
He broke into the U18 squad aged only 15, and scored a hat-trick on his first start for the team in a 4-0 win over Reading U18 at Motspur Park on 3 February 2018.
After winning the club's Youth Player of the Season award in 2020, he went on to make his first team debut shortly after he turned 18, coming off the bench for the last 12 minutes during a 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday at Craven Cottage in the EFL Cup .
After scoring his second hat-trick against Crystal Palace U23 on 4 December 2020 in a 5-2 win , Fábio made a further first team appearance as he came off the bench during an FA Cup tie against Burnley on 24 January 2021.
He then made his League debut on 1 May 2021, playing the last 12 minutes of a 2-0 loss away at Chelsea in the Premier League . He scored his first goal in his first start for the first team during a 3-1 loss away to Southampton on 15 May 2021. He then pushed on and cemented his place in the first team for the 2021-22 season as Fulham returned to the Championship .
He opened his account for the season in a 5-1 thrashing away to Huddersfield Town in the second League match of the campaign before another strike three days later in a man of the match performance at Millwall in a 2-1 win . He sustained a toe injury early in the season before contracting COVID-19, all whilst rumours were being spread around his future at the club, suggesting he was not going to sign a new contract. Despite this, he returned to full fitness and scored again in his first start back in a 4-1 win against Barnsley on 20 November 2021.
Fábio scored his first brace in professional football during a 6-2 hammering against Birmingham City at Craven Cottage on 18 January 2022. He was then at the centre of the news on the January transfer window deadline day, as a move to Liverpool fell through, reportedly because paperwork could not be completed in time to ensure that Fabio would return to Fulham on loan for the remainder of the season.
Despite the England youth setup wanting to call him up for their U21 side, due to passport issues this could not be the case and in March 2022, Fábio accepted a call up for Portugal U21 and made his debut for them on 25 March 2022 during a 1-1 draw at home to Iceland U21 in a UEFA U21 Championship qualifier.
After successfully helping Fulham win the Championship title and another promotion to the Premier League , an announcement was made on 23 May 2022 that Fabio would join Liverpool on 1 July 2022 for a compensation fee of up to £7.7 million.
