As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool’s young talent Fabio Carvalho is poised to join Bundesliga club RB Leipzig on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old midfielder is under contract until 2027 after joining Liverpool from Fulham last summer. He has already made 21 appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Carvalho showcased his goal-scoring ability in Premier League victories over AFC Bournemouth and Newcastle United, as well as in a Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City.
Known for his versatility, he can play in various positions, including left winger, attacking midfielder, and central midfielder.

Carvalho has earned four caps for the Portugal U21 national team and previously represented England at U16 to U18 levels. Reports state that he is now preparing for a loan move to RB Leipzig in Germany.
The 20-year-old midfielder will spend the next 12 months away from Anfield to further his development.
The Portuguese loan move is nearing completion, with all parties reaching a full agreement last week. RB Leipzig, who finished third in the Bundesliga last season, will not have an option to buy included in the deal.

Carvalho began his football journey in the youth ranks of Benfica before moving to England and joining Fulham’s academy.
During his time at Fulham, he featured in 44 matches and played a significant role in their Championship title-winning campaign, earning a spot in the PFA’s Team of the Season.
Liverpool are undergoing squad changes after their disappointing 2022-23 season, where they failed to secure a top-four finish.
