Southampton are now set to face serious competition for Fabio Carvalho’s signature this summer.
The Saints had an opening bid of £15m rejected by Liverpool for the attacking midfielder. Now Fabrizio Romano reports on X (formerly Twitter) that promoted outfit Leicester City have entered the race for the Portuguese star with talks having opened.

The former Fulham prospect has enjoyed a productive pre-season with Arne Slot’s men, scoring twice against Arsenal and Manchester United respectively.
What is Liverpool’s position on selling Fabio Carvalho?
Southampton are, allegedly, set to return with a second offer for No.28. Given that Arne Slot is understood to have been left impressed with his contributions in pre-season, it’s difficult to see Carvalho being sold for a minor fee.
The Mirror reports that we would be looking for a more significant fee in order to consider allowing the 21-year-old to leave permanently this summer.
Where exactly the footballer fits in, however, in a side that is already well-stocked for left-sided wingers and No.10s remains to be seen.
That said, it would seem somewhat harsh to dismiss him entirely as an option for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign on the basis of his terrific efforts stateside.
