Schalke 'could sell Liverpool target Ozan Kabak for just £18m in January' as Jurgen Klopp weighs up Virgil van Dijk replacements... with club scouts still watching youngster Malick Thiaw

Schalke are willing to sell Liverpool-target Ozan Kabak for £18million in the January transfer window.

Schalke had originally valued their defender at £40m but the financial ramifications of Covid-19 have seen the German club lower their asking, according to Sport Bild.

Liverpool are also keeping tabs on Schalke starlet Malick Thiaw after Kabak's five-match ban for spitting at Ludwig Augustinsson allowed him to excel in the Bundesliga.
