Fulham receive punishment after Liverpool transfer breaks Premier League rules

Fulham have been punished by the Premier League for breaching registration rules following the transfer of Fabio Carvalho to Liverpool.

The Cottagers have been slapped with a £75,000 fine and handed a suspended six-month ban from registering any academy players currently or previously registered with another club. Carvalho, 21, who joined Fulham from Balham Blazers in December 2014, left the club at the end of his contract after their promotion from the Championship in 2022, to join Liverpool.

A club statement read: «The Premier League and Fulham FC have entered into a sanction agreement following the club's accepted breaches of the Premier League Rules in relation to player registrations.

»The club will face a six-month ban (suspended for one year) from registering any academy players currently or previously registered with another club and will pay a £75,000 fine. The suspended registrations ban commenced on 15 April 2024."

«As required by the Premier League Rules, the sanction agreement has been ratified by three members of the Independent Judicial Panel.»

The announcement is part of the sanction agreement with the Premier League over settlement payments for Carvalho that were believed to have breached the rules. Liverpool confirmed the signing of Carvalho in May 2022 but he did not have the desired impact during his time at Anfield.

The Portugal Under 21 international started just four Premier League matches and was restricted to just 21 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals. Carvalho was sent out on loan to RB Leipzig at the start of this campaign to get regular game time but struggled for form in the Bundesliga.
