Liverpool set to launch bid for versatile Bundesliga star
LIVERPOOL are lining up a bid for Schalke defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos, according to reports.
Liverpool - Most Expensive Transfers
Bild claims that Brendan Rodgers is keen on bringing the Greece international to Anfield this summer, possibly as a replacement for the ageing Kolo Toure.
Papadopoulos is currently on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, where he is looking to regain fitness following a long injury lay-off.
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Kyriakos Papadopoulos
The 23-year-old is also capable of playing as a holding midfielder, and with just a year left on his current deal, would apparently be available for as little as £5million.
Schalke have just completed a permanent move for Manchester City's Matija Nastasic, which could spell the end of Papadopoulos' career at the Veltins-Arena.
