Fulham Eye Return For Liverpool's Paul Konchesky

Fulham is searching for a replacement for Mexico international full-back Carlos Salcido as he sets his sights on a return home at the end of the season.

The former Chivas Guadalajara man has reportedly promised his family that a return to his native country will come to fruition this summer, just a year after joining Fulham from Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven for a fee of around £1.6 million.

The Daily Mail believe Mark Hughes will look to Paul Konchesky as Salcido’s replacement, with the Mexican understood to be close to agreeing terms with Monterrey, where he would link up with national team colleague Ricardo Osorio.

Konchesky is seen as an ideal replacement as he would represent a cheap solution after failing to establish himself at Anfield and eventually being shipped out on loan to Championship club Nottingham Forest.

It is believed Konchesky would welcome the chance to return to Fulham after reaching the Europa League final with them the last season, months prior to following Roy Hodgson to Liverpool.
