Liverpool have sign Ozan Kabak from German club on loan deal with an option to buy the defender in the summer.
The twenty-year-old have undergone a medical in Germany and he is expected to fly to Liverpool in the next few hours.
The initial fee of the loan deal is one million pounds and might rise to one million five hundred thousand pounds with add-ons depending on appearance and performance of the Reds in the Champions league.
Liverpool will retain an option to buy in the summer worth an initial £18m, which could rise to £26.5m with add-ons, and will have until June to trigger that clause.
Former Schalke and Huddersfield manager David Wagner recommended the 20-year-old to Klopp over the past months.
“Yes, Dave was already very, very positive about him,” Klopp told Liverpool’s club website. “He came very young to Germany and everybody was clear he was a massive talent.
“He is only 20 now. He plays in his second club [in Germany]; he is at Schalke and unfortunately, they are in a bad position in the moment. For him, I think it’s a really good moment to make the move because, like each player in the world, you need a stable team around you and that’s what we can deliver.
“We deliver a stable team and you can play your position, you don’t have to be 20 with pretty much everything on the pitch and not allowed to make mistakes anymore.
“He’s really a big, big talent and we are really looking forward to working with him.”
