Fabio Carvalho has made nine appearances for the club since he arrived at the start of the year.

Forward Fabio Carvalho joined Liverpool from Fulham for the start of the 2022-23 season. He found some playing time when he arrived but found himself losing out to other players as the season wore on.

For the 2023-24 season, Carvalho first moved to German side RB Leipzig. That didn’t pan out, and the full season loan was shortened. Carvalho was then moved to Championship side Hull City in January.

He has made nine appearances up front so far and scored three goals, making himself valuable. They currently sit in 6th place, holding the last playoff spot for promotion. Tan Kesler, the Hull City executive vice-president, said that keeping Carvalho permanently would be impossible from a financial standpoint if they remain in the second tier.

However, should they get that boost into the Premier League, he said that keeping Carvalho at Hull City on a permanent deal would be a priority.

“[Carvalho has] a Premier League level salary [and] Liverpool are going to demand quite a bit of a transfer fee for him,” Kesler said.

“The chairman would want to sign him, he would do it in a heartbeat, if there’s no FFP, no regulations, no control, I’m sure we will invest to sign Fabio.

“If we’re promoted for sure we will pursue him because of the money we would be receiving, we would try to allocate those finances on players like Fabio. It can be unrealistic expectations for some of our fans but we’re very optimistic.

“If any of this happens we will do it because he’s someone we would love to have long term.”

Whether or not it works out at Hull City, Carvalho appears to be destined to find a new home soon.
