Liverpool 'keen to complete deal for Ozan Kabak'

Liverpool are reportedly targeting a move for Schalke 04 centre-back Ozan Kabak.

The Reds secured a deal for Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara on Friday and are believed to be on the verge of signing Diogo Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Jurgen Klopp's side are yet to replace Dejan Lovren, though, and according to Transfermarkt, the Premier League champions want to sign Kabak before the end of the summer transfer window.

The report claims that Sevilla's Diego Carlos has also emerged as an option, but Kabak is higher on the club's list as he would be more affordable in the current market.

The 20-year-old featured on 28 occasions for the Royal Blues during the 2019-20 campaign, including 26 outings in the Bundesliga, where he contributed three goals and one assist.

Manchester City, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have also previously been linked with the Turkey international, who only joined Schalke from Stuttgart on a five-year deal last summer.
