Liverpool defender Calum Scanlon is set to return to Cardiff City on loan for the 2026-27 season, reports say. The 21-year-old is expected to use the move to gain another season of regular senior football.
Both outlets frame the transfer as a second spell for Scanlon with Cardiff. BBC Football says Cardiff secures his return for the Championship campaign, while Yahoo Sports reports Cardiff is close to completing the deal and characterizes it as Scanlon preparing for another key year in the league.
No further details are provided in the available reports about loan length, any option or obligation to buy, or financial terms. The coverage instead focuses on the immediate outcome—Scanlon’s return to Cardiff—and the purpose of the loan, which is continued experience at Championship level.
