Liverpool are close to signing Fulham forward Fabio Carvalho in a deal that would see the teenager return to the Championship leaders on loan until the end of the season.
Liverpool are one of a number of interested clubs that are interested in the 19-year-old, who has entered the final six months of his deal at Craven Cottage.
Fulham insist they want both a sizeable transfer fee and for Carvalho to remain at the club for the rest of the season, and it appears Liverpool have met those conditions.
  Fulham would be entitled to compensation set by a tribunal should the teenager join another English side at the end of his contract.
The expiry of Carvalho’s deal would also open the door to a move abroad as continental clubs would only need to pay a nominal fee for the forward.
Carvalho made his first-team debut for Fulham last season and has gone on to establish himself this campaign with seven goals and four assists in 18 Championship appearances.
Speaking last week, Fulham boss Marco Silva insisted Carvalho would not leave the club this month, despite it potentially being the final opportunity to receive a transfer fee for him.
“Fabio will be with us until the end of the season,” Silva said. “I would like to see him here for more years.
