FABIO CARVALHO has hinted he will soon be leaving Liverpool after a cryptic Instagram post.
The 20-year-old arrived on a free transfer from Fulham last summer on the back of an impressive Championship season but has struggled for minutes this term.
Indeed, after playing just 340 Premier League minutes under Jurgen Klopp, Carvalho seems to feel he needs more game time.
And after posting a series of photos following a photoshoot on the beach, the England and Portugal Youth International seemed to hint at his future lying away from Anfield.
In response to his collection of photos, former Fulham team-mate Ryan de Havilland, 21, wrote: “Next top model 😍,” to which Carvalho responded: “All I do now,” as he vented his frustration.
However, it was his response to Manchester United star Anthony Elanga which set alarm bells ringing.

The United winger, 21, commented: “Fresh home…” Carvalho then simply replied: “Soon.”
It comes amid speculation regarding his future after reports suggested there were a number of suitors for him both at home and abroad.
Indeed, the Liverpool Echo have reported the Reds have already turned down one offer from an unnamed club.
But the nature of any transfer for the winger is more likely to be a loan, with Klopp admitting there was a chance he could go on to find a new club in the summer.

The German then insisted no player had done more to impress him this season.
He told reporters on Friday: “I think there is a maybe a possibility Fabio goes on loan but the thing is this was not Fabio’s best year in his career, clear, but it might have been his most important.
“No player has impressed me more than Fabio, it is the truth.
“This talented boy came here with big dreams and big expectations and it didn’t work out – it was okay in the beginning but it didn’t work out in the end.
“But his work ethic will give him a fantastic career because he trained with getting nothing.”
Despite his struggles for game time, Carvalho still managed to yield two league goals from his debut season at Anfield, with both coming in August.
Meanwhile, Elanga is in a similar predicament at United.
The Swede has played just 418 minutes of Prem football, chipping in with a single assist, though he remains in high demand.
As many as ten clubs went in with offers for him in the January transfer window, and a loan move looks likely for the summer.
