Liverpool
are once again being linked with a top defender, but this time they will
reportedly have to shell out €22million to land him.
The Reds
are closing in on Schalke centre back Kyriakos Papadopoulos, that is according
to chief scout and former director of football at AS Monaco Tor-Kristian
Karlsen.
Only 21,
the Greek International has become one of the top prospects in the game, and is
being courted by some of the biggest names in European football.
Papadopoulos
was once the youngest player ever, to appear in a Greek Superleague fixture,
having made his debut for Olympiakos at just 15, and since gone on to prove
himself as an immensely capable player in both the Bundesliga and UEFA
Champions League.
However, he
has had his injury problems, a knee injury has kept him out of action since
last November.
That was
enough to turn off other teams, but not Liverpool.
They are
still interested, despite his injury, as Brendan Rodgers searches for a
replacement for Jamie Carragher.
The young
Greek star could arrive at Anfied, along with the possible signing of Raul
Albiol from Real Madrid.
