Hull City is exploring terms to sign 19-year-old Venezuelan winger Luis Fernando Carrero from Deportivo Tachira this summer. The Championship club plans to loan the attacking player to Slovenian side NK Maribor, where he impressed last season. Carrero, a left-footed wide player, made one assist in four appearances in the Slovenian top division.

The strategic move would keep Carrero at NK Maribor until the end of the 2026/27 season, allowing him valuable playing time before potentially joining Hull. The arrangement benefits from Hull owner Acun Ilicali's controlling stake in NK Maribor, creating a unique cross-club pathway for the young talent to develop.

This transfer structure reflects Hull's approach to building a network of affiliated clubs to develop players. The deal represents a calculated investment in Carrero's potential without immediate first-team pressure. The Venezuelan winger's development trajectory now depends on performances at Maribor over the next three seasons.
