Jurgen Klopp is prepared to let Fabio Carvalho leave Liverpool on loan after the youngster faced a challenging first season at Anfield.
The former Fulham star made a fast start for the Reds after joining last summer, but by the end of the season he found himself starved of minutes. An early exit for the Portugal Under-21 international had been mooted, but Klopp doesn't appear ready to give up on Carvalho altogether.
RB Leipzig had been sniffing around, hopeful of a discounted fee on a player who still has time on his side. With a loan rather than a purchase, though, the Reds have a chance to see if Carvalho - like fellow Premier League youngsters Emile Smith Rowe and Ethan Ampadu - can come back stronger after a spell at Red Bull Arena.
