Liverpool are looking to cut short the loan of Fabio Carvalho and send him to another club for the second half of the season according to a new report.
The 21 year old has only played a total of 289 minutes in 14 appearances for RB Leipzig in all competitions this season, with one start coming in the Bundesliga and the other against Young Boys in the Champions League.
To this point of time, the attacking utility player has yet to register a goal or assist in his time playing for the team currently third on the league table.
The Mirror reports that the lack of regular minutes for Carvalho is of concern for the Liverpool hierarchy and conversations are believed to have taken place with Leipzig over what may happen in January.
Just how far they have progressed is up for debate however with Leipzig director Rouven Schroder not prepared to entertain talk of a possible termination, stating in midweek: “These are typical power games that ultimately emerge."
Ideally Liverpool would like to move the youngster to a club where he will get the minutes required to truly assess his development and at this point of time they are not willing to sell him.
One of those clubs that Carvalho could move to on a temporary basis is his former club in Fulham where he spent seven years coming through the youth ranks and progressing through to the senior ranks making a big impression which in turn alerted a number of the top clubs in the country.
Marco Silva avoided discussing the subject before Fulham played the Reds a couple of weeks ago saying that it is up to Liverpool to work out the situation.
Burnley are another club believed to have registered an interest.
For Carvalho, he would certainly want some clarity on his future as by his own admission, he felt like his first season at Liverpool did not work out the way he would have liked.
