Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Schalke 04 defender Sead Kolasinac, who has less than a year remaining on his current contract.

Liverpool have reportedly maintained an interest in signing Schalke 04 defender Sead Kolasinac at the end of his current contract.

The Merseyside giants were linked with a move for Kolasinac earlier this year but despite a transfer not materialising, it appears that Jurgen Klopp is still keen on the 23-year-old.

According to BILD, Liverpool will attempt to persuade the Bosnian to move to Anfield should he not pen a new deal in the coming months.

The left-back has spent the last four years in the first team at Schalke, making a total of 93 appearances in all competitions.

It has been suggested that both Chelsea and West Ham United also hold an interest in Kolasinac.
