Fabio Carvalho says he has no intention of calling time on his Reds career this summer.
The Portuguese moved to Anfield from Fulham in a deal worth up to £7.7m but was starved of football during the second half of a miserable 2022/23 campaign
Limited to just eight starts, Carvalho joined RB Leipzig on loan last summer before moving to Hull City in January
Boasting nine goals in 19 games for the Tigers, he is now back playing with a smile on his face again.
With Feyenoord boss Arne Slot closing in on being named as the German’s successor, Carvalho is determined to impress the next Liverpool manager

“Yeah, that’s the target,”
“The way I see it, it’s a fresh start. Not just for me, but obviously whoever comes in.
“It’ll be a fresh start for me, and for the likes of Tyler (Morton - fellow Liverpool loanee at Hull City) as well. We’ve just got to take the chances that come. Really grasp it and take it with both hands.
“Yeah, Tyler and I have spoken (about about the summer). Especially after the news came out about Jurgen. We just spoke about what could potentially change at the club.
“Ultimately, it’s a fresh start for both of us. We’ll just go back there with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
“Obviously I want to break into the Liverpool first-team squad, into the starting XI as well. For now, I’m focused on Hull City and getting promoted.
“I’m going to see how pre-season turns out and then we’ll make a decision (on my future) after that.”
Carvalho admitted he was aware of the ongoing speculation regarding Klopp’s would-be successor.

“I’ve heard a few things but I’m just focused on myself and focused what I’m doing right now,”
“I’m trying to stay away from the social media and all that, which doesn’t really add anything to my life.
“Whoever comes in, I’m sure that whoever is appointed, the fans will have their back and I’m sure that the owners and the higher-ups won’t make a decision where it’s going to backfire, I’m sure they will make the right decision.”
When asked how he found out about Klopp Leaving Carvalho said
“Same way you did I think!” he laughed
“Just on the internet. I remember it was right before training.
“I was getting ready to go out and then Tyler was like, ‘Fabio, have you seen what’s happened?’ I was like, ‘nah’, and he showed me on his phone.
“And then I went on my phone, I had a few messages from people who I know and who are close to me. They all just said the same thing
“I’ve not spoken to him (Klopp). Because I know he’s got a lot of stuff to focus on! But I will speak to him eventually.
“He had the League Cup final, which we won. He’s got a lot of stuff going on and I’ll just leave him until the end (of the season). Eventually I’ll speak to him.
“I wasn’t even onto Harvey (Elliott - having come through the ranks at Fulham together before linking up at Liverpool).
“We don’t really speak about it. I just want him to focus because it was during a period where they had a few games.
“We had a few games ourselves and we need to focus on our own careers. But I’m sure we will catch up on it.”
