Liverpool looking to sign Schalke’s defender on loan

In the transfer window, the Reds have burst into life and are trying to close deals with two centre-backs. Ben Davies from Preston is supposed to be one, while Duje Caleta-Car of Marseille was reported as an alternative late on Sunday.

Liverpool is pushing to sign Ozan Kabak, Schalke’s defender, but faces a battle against time to get the deal off the line before the transfer window closes.

According to a report by Sky Sports News, Liverpool had already prepared Kabak for medical attention in Germany, so it could all come down to whether Schalke could find a replacement before the Bundesliga window closes at 17:00. (GMT).
