LIVERPOOL star Fabio Carvalho is close to joining RB Leipzig on loan, according to reports.
The attacking midfielder had a tough first season at Anfield after joining from Fulham for £7.7million.
Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho is set to sign RB Leipzig on loan
Carvalho helped the Cottagers earn promotion from the Championship in 2021 but started only eight games for Liverpool last season.
The 20-year-old is now sent for a loan spell in the search for more regular first-team football.
Reports suggest an agreement between Liverpool and RB Leipzig is close to being completed.
A medical is set to take place in the coming weeks ahead of the transfer.
Liverpool supposedly have no plans to let Carvalho leave permanently and no option to buy will be included.
RB Leipzig have a reputation for nurturing young players and fans believe the move is ideal for the Portugal Under-21 star.
One said: “Such a perfect deal. can’t wait to see him develop over there.”
Another reacted: “Good opportunity for him, when he did play he showed signs of his potential.
A third added: “Would’ve been a huge mistake selling him and you’ll all see why after his loan.”
The Carvalho signing could see the Bundesliga club’s other attackers like Dominik Szoboszlai leave for Newcastle after Christopher Nkunku signed for Chelsea.
