Paper Talk: Surprise switch on cards for Liverpool keeper Karius

A Liverpool goalkeeper could be set for a season-long loan move to Turkey, while AC Milan are keen on signing a Chelsea midfielder, according to Monday’s papers.

 

LIVERPOOL STOPPER TIPPED FOR TURKEY SWITCH

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius is a reported target for Besiktas, with the Turkish giants keen to sign the German on a season-long loan.

Reports in Monday’s papers claim that the 25-year-old will be allowed to move on on a temporary basis following Alisson’s arrival at Anfield.

Another Reds stopper, Simon Mignolet, has been strongly tipped to quit the club before the European transfer window shuts, with Napoli known admirers of the Belgian, but it would now appear that Karius is keen on an exit too.

Karius was preferred to Mignolet for bench duty as Jurgen Klopp’s men crushed West Ham in their Premier League opener on Sunday.

Besiktas are believed to have originally been after Mignolet but have now switched their interests to Karius, who has lost his place after an error-strewn end to last season.

Klopp, however, is highly unlikely to let both his back-up goalkeepers leave and it would appear that Mignolet is much more likely to be allowed a move.
