The Reds boss has developed a liking for the on-loan defender but is unsure whether he will stay at Anfield beyond this season.
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are yet to make a decision on the future of Ozan Kabak.
Kabak came in as the answer to Liverpool’s defensive crisis. The Reds signed him on a six-month loan deal from Schalke with center-backs Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip all out injured.
Making 13 appearances across all competitions, the Turkey international has made a decent impression since his arrival on the deadline day of the January transfer window.
Liverpool have the option of converting Kabak’s loan deal into a permanent transfer for a reported €20, but they will delay making any decision until the end of the season.
“Ozan was absolutely incredible, he did a great job,” Klopp said, via Express. “Not to forget he is a young, young boy with incredible experience already.
“He has been with different clubs, moved early from Turkey to Germany and played at two big clubs in Germany in difficult situations which were obviously not his fault, we could all see that when he arrived here.
“Yes, he took a little bit of time to adapt but he did super things for us. I don’t know how many games out but against Leipzig [in the Champions League] he was incredible, we knew how good Leipzig could be.
“About the future we will talk about it after that, and decide about it after the last match. There is obviously enough time for that, nothing else really to say about that.”
