Liverpool are reportedly looking to sell out of favour goalkeeper Loris Karius before the transfer window closes at the end of this month.
The fact the 28-year-old is still on the books at Anfield may come as a surprise to many having been shunned from the squad following that infamous night in Kyiv against Real Madrid.
Over three years and three season-long loan moves later, the German stopper could finally find a permanent move over the coming days.
That’s according to the Liverpool Echo, as cited by ThinkLFCTV on Twitter, claiming the ex-Mainz man has ‘no future’ at the club.

The report states that the Reds will attempt to find a move for one-time Germany Under 21 international before Tuesday’s 11:00pm deadline passes.
Karius enjoyed a strong start to life on loan at Besiktas before an unamiable end to a 67 appearance stay.
Last season however was less than successful as the stopper once described as ‘outstanding’ by Jurgen Klopp made just five senior outings for Union Berlin.

Selling Karius is a no-brainer for the club this summer.
Valued at £1.8million and in the final 12 months of a contract (Transfermarkt), without a move Liverpool face the prospect of paying the German’s wages in full without any hope of a return or playing time.
Clearly behind Alisson Becker, Adrian and Caoimhín Kelleher in the pecking order, Karius himself will surely be desperate for a move.
