Schalke are hiking up their valuation of Ozan Kabak.
The Turkey defender has emerged as a January target for Liverpool, where they see the youngster as cover for knee injury victim Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool are said to have opened talks with Schalke for Kabak ahead of the winter market.
However, talk in England of a knockdown €22m asking price has been dismissed in Germany.
Sport1 is reporting Schalke will not consider selling Kabak for less than €35m.
