It is suggested Reds scouts have been casting their eye over Kjaer for some time as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his defensive ranks.  

Lucas Leiva and Mamadou Sakho look destined to depart in the summer and Kjaer is being viewed as a suitable replacement as Klopp looks to build a squad capable of competing for the Premier League title.  

The report adds Fenerbahce are keen to keep hold of Kjaer but will listen to offers if their £17million valuation is met.

But Kjaer recently revealed he is not interested in a move away from Turkey.  

“I have no intention of leaving Turkey, Turkish football has taught me a lot,” he told Turkish outlet Fotospor.  

“I have improved to have more responsibility, some of the matches I have played are like something I haven’t experienced anywhere in the world.”
