Talks were held between the Premier League outfit and Schalke over a move before the transfer window ends.
Schalke wanted to sell Kabak after being relegated from the Bundesliga but with just a day remaining before the transfer window shuts on 31 August they need to make a deal fast to move him on.
Kabak has experience playing in the Premier League having joined Liverpool on loan for the second half of last season.
The 21-year-old played regular first team football for the Reds but was not kept on a permanent transfer.
Liverpool had several key defenders returning from recovery making Kabak surplus to requirements.
Kabak has been linked with several clubs including Sevilla, Newcastle United and Torino but it looks like he will end up joining Norwich.
