Fulham have been fined £75,000 for breaching rules following the sale of Fabio Carvalho to Liverpool in 2022, the Premier League has announced.

The Portugal youth international left Craven Cottage to join Jurgen Klopp's Reds, with Fulham then making a settlement payment to Balham Blazers, the non-league club where Carvalho had previously played.

That payment contravened Premier League registration regulations and Fulham have accepted the breach.

'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 league announced in a statement on Tuesday.
