The Premier League has penalized Fulham Football Club with a £75,000 fine for breaching regulations during the signing of young winger Fabio Carvalho. Carvalho, who currently plays for Liverpool, joined Fulham’s academy in December 2020 after a transfer from Balham Blazers.
The specific violation relates to a payment Fulham owed Carvalho’s former club upon his departure to Liverpool in the summer of 2022. Details regarding the exact nature of the infraction have not been revealed by the Premier League.
In addition to the financial penalty, Fulham faces a potential six-month suspension on registering academy players previously affiliated with other clubs. This stricter consequence would only come into effect if Fulham commits similar offenses within the next year.
Carvalho’s journey since joining Fulham’s academy has been a whirlwind. Despite featuring in 44 matches for the Cottagers’ first team, his stay was short-lived. In the summer of 2022, he secured a transfer to Liverpool. However, his playing time with the Reds has been limited to 21 appearances so far. To gain more experience, Carvalho spent the first half of the current season on loan at RB Leipzig in Germany. He recently joined Hull City on another loan deal in January 2024.
