Kabak joined Liverpool in the January transfer window and would go on to make 13 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, forming a partnership with Nat Phillips.

Jurgen Klopp made the decision to not sign the 21-year-old permanently over the summer, with exciting French centre-half Ibou Konate arriving at Anfield in a €35 million deal, as per Romano.

It’s currently unclear how much Norwich have bid for Kabak – but with Goal journalist Neil Jones claiming Liverpool rejected the chance to sign him for £8.5 million, it’s likely to be in the same ballpark.

Schalke were unfortunately relegated to 2. Bundesliga last season and are desperate to trim their wage bill, with the centre-half on around £35,000 a week, according to Salary Sport.
