Papadopoulos staying put
Reported Premier League target Kyriakos Papadopoulos has no intention of leaving Schalke this summer, according to his agent.
The 21-year-old Greece international is considered as one of the best young defenders in Europe, having joined the German outfit from Olympiakos in 2010.
Papadopoulos, who made his first-team debut aged just 16, has been strongly linked with Liverpool, whilst Manchester City are also said to have an active interest.
But the youngster's agent is insistent that Papadopoulos is not looking to move.
"I can tell you we have no interest in a transfer away from Schalke at this point in time," Paul Koutsoliakos told Bild, insisting he is just concentrating on returning to full fitness after a knee operation in March.
"Kyriakos is happy being at this club," he said.
"Kyriakos is fully focused on being fit when Schalke start pre-season training in the next few months. He looks likely to be ready for it."
