Another report has claimed that Ozan Kabak will be able to leave Schalke in the January transfer window.
On Tuesday, Liverpool were again linked with a move for the 20-year-old, with Schalke ‘seriously thinking’ about allowing the centre-back to move on.
Now SportBILD [via Sport Witness] are claiming the same, saying that Kabak will be available for €25million, helping ease the Bundesliga side’s financial issues.
Liverpool are not mentioned in terms of tabling a bid, but their interest has been reported numerous times in the past.
With Virgil van Dijk expected to miss the rest of the season through injury, and with Joel Matip’s fitness a constant issue, it could be that Jurgen Klopp makes a move for Kabak.

I think Kabak looks an ideal solution to bring in in January, rather than someone like Dayot Upamecano, who would likely cost far more.
He would be a signing for the future as well as the present, giving Klopp more options and alleviating the current defensive crisis he is facing.
Kabak has shone for Schalke in the Bundesliga, winning an average of 3.3 aerial duels per game and completing 92.2 percent of his passes this season.
They are two areas that the absent Van Dijk excels in – he was averaging 2.4 and 90 percent before injury – suggesting the Turkey international could be the man to help fill the void.
