Brentford signed Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool for a transfer fee of up to £27.5 million.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder’s initial deal is worth £22.5m with £5m in add-ons.
As part of the package, Liverpool have a 17.5% sell-on clause.
Carvalho, who is also interested in Southampton and Leicester City, has signed a five-year contract with Brentford having the option to extend for a further year.
“Fabio is a player with many qualities,” Brentford manager Thomas Frank told the club’s official website. “He can play in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation. Three or four positions up front. His best position is probably as a No. 10 or coming in from the left.
“Offensively, he has great ball control: he can beat players, slide passes, create opportunities and take them. He is a player we don’t have many in the team, so he will add something extra for us. something.
