Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho finished his loan spell at RB Leipzig after only six months instead of the planned one year.He struggled to find playing time in the Bundesliga and spent much of his time on the bench.
Liverpool will not be bringing him back to the first team, but rather releasing him on a loan deal, which has led to a fierce battle involving several clubs in the Premier League and the Championship.
According to Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas, the race for the former Fulham midfielder is on, and Hull City are the closest to landing him at the moment, ahead of their other rivals. The club is believed to be committed to using him on a regular basis.

The main requirement for acquiring the 21-year-old midfielder is to guarantee playing time. He is still young in age, and first-team appearances are essential for his development, and Liverpool is keen for him to play on the pitch, which he did not get in Germany.
A decision is expected to be made soon, but which club will the Portuguese U-21 midfielder join…?
