The Daily Star says Reds Boss Brendan Rodgers is a huge fan of the Greek star, although the Reds have been reluctant to pay the £13m Schalke wanted.

Sources close to Papadopoulos claim he is keen to leave the Bundesliga for Anfield, while Schalke have indicated they are now willing to thrash out a deal.
