Leeds United admit transfer disappointment again after latest failed bid for ex-Hull City star.
Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has admitted the Whites tried – and failed – again to sign Portuguese ace Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool over the summer.
United were one of a host of clubs in the running to sign Carvalho in January when he left Anfield on loan, instead opting to link up with Liam Rosenior’s Tigers in a move which grabbed the attention of the football world.

Carvalho produced some eye-catching moments last term, scoring nine goals in 20 Championship games as City narrowly missed out on the play-offs. After featuring for the Reds in pre-season under new boss Arne Slot, Carvalho was sold to Brentford in a deal worth almost £30m.

After failing to win promotion back to the Premier League, and with cash in the bank after selling a host of players like Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, Leeds pushed for Carvalho, Manchester City’s James McAtee and Gustavo Hamer, who bagged the opener against City for Sheffield United on Friday night, missing out on all three.
Kinnear admits Leeds tried to capture Carvalho on loan, but Liverpool made it clear another temporary deal was off the table and would only consider a permanent sale, leading to some frustration at Elland Road.

“Two of the other players, looking at the level we were looking at, McAtee at Man City, there was talk he might be released all the way through the window and then Pep [Guardiola] decided to keep him. And then Carvalho, who, again, might have been able to go out on another loan,” Kinnear told the Square Ball Podcast.

“It might have been a Championship loan or a Premier League loan. We thought we were first in the queue if it was going to be in the Premier League and he ended up being sold for £27m to Brentford. To strengthen our team and to make it better, we have to shop at the highest level possible. And there is lots and lots of frustration.”
