According to prominent transfer analyst and @CaughtOffside blogger Felizio Romano, the newly promoted Foxes have emerged victorious in the competition to get the offensive midfielder from Portugal.

That’s according to a recent report from leading transfer expert and CaughtOffside columnist Fabrizio Romano, who claims the newly promoted Foxes have joined Southampton in the race to sign the Portuguese attacking midfielder.

Struggling to break into the Reds’ first team since his 2022 move from Fulham, Carvalho, 21, has been forced to accept back-to-back loans with RB Leipzig and Hull City.

Now back with Liverpool, the 21-year-old, who has three years left on his deal, appears determined to leave Anfield in search of more regular first-team minutes.

Joining the saga, Leicester City, who won the Championship title last season and are now preparing for life back in England’s top flight, clearly view Carvalho as the ideal player to strengthen their fight for survival.
