Liverpool loanee Ozan Kabak has confirmed the end of his spell at Anfield with a social media post.
Signed on a short term deal from Bundesliga basement side Schalke on transfer deadline day, the Turkish centre-back performed admirably for the Reds.
Arriving at Anfield in difficult circumstances as Jurgen Klopp attempted to steady the ship after a host of injuries, the 21-year-old became part of the rebuilding process.
Despite a difficult debut against Leicester City, Kabak went on to win over a majority of Kopites and many might’ve felt the £18million permanent deal clause could be activated.
However, the defender announced the departure on Twitter, leaving some heartfelt words for the club and manager.

In another post containing a montage of iconic images from the past and during the Turkish international’s stay, Kabak simply said: ”Thanks for everything.”
Capped 12 times at senior level, the defender earned an average Sofascore rating of 6.78 from nine Premier League outings.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
It would seem Klopp and co have decided to opt for Ibrahima Konate instead of Kabak, a bold move given the impressive short spell on Merseyside.
Perhaps missing the final five games of the campaign hampered the Turkish ace’s chance of securing a permanent deal.
Many clubs have been linked to Kabak since it became apparent Liverpool wouldn’t be taking up the option – no doubt the club and Kopites would wish him all the best.
