Loris Karius cost Liverpool £4.7m when he joined from Jurgen Klopp's former club Mainz in May 2016

Liverpool are in advanced talks with Besiktas about a potential two-year loan move for the Reds' German goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Karius has not played a competitive match for the Premier League club since his two errors helped Real Madrid win the Champions League final on 26 May.

In July, Liverpool made Alisson the world's most expensive goalkeeper.

Karius, 25, has travelled with Jurgen Klopp's squad for Monday's league match at Crystal Palace.

If he agrees to the loan, it would leave Simon Mignolet as Liverpool's only senior back-up to Alisson.

Besiktas will have the option to buy Karius at the end of his loan.
