Despite a promising start at Anfield following his £7.7million move from Fulham, Carvalho’s season has largely been a disappointment.
Since December, he has made just five appearances for Klopp’s side.
His lack of game time saw his future questioned at the club in a recent press conference, with Klopp revealing he could leave the club on loan.
“I think there is a possibility that maybe Fabio will go on loan or whatever. We will see,” Klopp said.
“The thing is, this was not Fabio’s best year of his career, clearly, in a very young career, but it might have been his most important.
“No player has impressed me more than Fabio, that’s the truth.
“Because this kind of very talented boy came here with big dreams and big expectations, it was OK in the beginning but didn’t work out in the end.
“His work ethic will give him a fantastic career. He trained while getting nothing.
“For players, there’s only one present you have each week: you line me up, if not that then take me in the squad. That’s my only chance to satisfy a player.
“If I don’t do that, it’s about how the player reacts – and his reactions, in a row, I never saw it before. Unbelievable.
“I’m not sure if he goes on loan or whatever, if we keep him, we will see.”
