Liverpool are in talks with Fulham over a £5million move for 19-year-old Fabio Carvalho.
Carvalho has less than six months left on his contract with the Championship side and will be available for a compensation fee in the summer.
Liverpool have made an offer for the attacking midfielder though Fulham remain determined to keep hold of Carvalho with head coach Marco Silva publicly ruling out his imminent departure last week.
Liverpool may consider loaning Carvalho back as part of any agreement with Fulham keen for the teenager to play his part in their promotion push.
