„Liverpool“ will strengthen their squad not with one, but with at least two defenders on the last day of the winter transfer window. We have previously announced that the English champions are finalizing the acquisition of „Preston“ defender Ben Davies, and Fabrizio Romano announces that Liverpool will also be strengthened by „Schalke“ defender Ozan Kabak. This news was later confirmed officially.

It's official! 😎 @ozankabak4 joins us on loan from @s04 until the end of the season 👊 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) February 1, 2021

It is reported that negotiations between the two parties have already been completed and the 20-year-old Turkish player will arrive in England on a loan basis until the end of the season. „Liverpool“ will have the opportunity to acquire full rights to the player in the summer, but in that case will have to pay approximately 30 million euros for his buyout. O. Kabak played 14 matches for „Schalke“ this season. The defender has also represented the Turkish national team seven times.
