Liverpool target Ozan Kabak may have to be sold be Schalke, according to SportBILD.

The German newspaper reported earlier in the week that Liverpool had made contact with Schalke over the centre-back, as they look to arrange a transfer.

And it seems that Liverpool could have a chance of completing a deal for the Turkish international. 

Schalke reportedly have to sell a key player this summer, as they need to raise funds, after suffering financially.

Kabak is one of Schalke’s most valuable players and, therefore, could be put up for sale.

That should be music to the ears of Liverpool, who are believed to be keen on the 20-year-old.

Jurgen Klopp’s side view the youngster as a potential replacement for Dejan Lovren, who departed for Zenit St. Petersburg earlier in the week.

It is claimed by Bild that a bid of £31 million would be enough to convince Schalke to sell Kabak, but with Klopp working on a limited budget, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will meet that asking price.
