Medical next, personal terms agreed: Liverpool set to complete loan exit

Liverpool are set to complete a loan agreement with Hull City to send 21-year-old Fabio Carvalho to the Championship on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.

The attacking midfielder is a talented player but is in dire need of regular game time if he is to break into Jurgen Klopp's first-team when he returns to the club at the end of the summer break for pre-season.

Hull's owner, Acun Ilıcalı has confirmed that personal terms have been agreed with the 54-year-old excited to see the Liverpool player join the club for the better part of six months.

He told Sky Sports: "We agreed all terms with him. I'm very happy to say he's going to wear the Hull shirt."

Fabrizio Romano reports that all that remains is for a medical to be wrapped up before official paperwork can be signed, sealing the deal. Carvalho has received the "green light" from Liverpool to complete the transfer.

Speaking about his excitement to see Carvalho join the Cottagers, Ilıcalı said: “He wants to go to a place where he will enjoy football. Hull is the best place for him to improve his talents.

“So many clubs wanted him and he chose us. It’s because of the way we are playing the game. Liam Rosenior has a big effect on that, playing nice football.

“We are a fantastic club with fantastic players and a fantastic coach. Everything is so good here.”

Hopefully when he returns, Carvalho will have refound the form that inspired Liverpool to sign him in May 2022. It was his glittering displays that helped Fulham return to the Premier League.

All in all, he managed 11 goals and 8 assists in the 2021/22 campaign and he's still capable of that. His development has stalled due to a lack of rhythm and minutes but that will come back as he gets back to playing regularly.
