talkSPORT's top German football expert Raf Honigstein claims Schalke star Kyriakos Papadopoulos is in line for a move to Liverpool.
He told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show: "Liverpool are pretty close to landing Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
"Schalke would have been happy to sell him to Zenit in the January transfer window, where they had a very good offer of around £20m or so.
"Liverpool's offer will be a little bit lower, which is a reflection on the fact that he's been out injured for a while.
"There's no fear he will be affected long-term, it's just that Schalke have three very good centre-backs, having picked up Felipe Santana from Dortmund for €1m. That makes it easier for Papadopoulos to go."
