Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius looks set to be the subject of renewed interest from FC Basel in January.
The 28-year-old remained with the Reds despite the club actively looking to sell this summer.
Swiss top-flight club Basel were reportedly keen on the stopper but a move failed to materialise as Karius failed to agree to personal terms.
Now, a fresh report from reliable German outlet Bild, as cited by Manuel Veth on Twitter, has claimed that the main protagonists may return.
The report claims the current second-placed side in the Swiss Super League will make an attempt to sign Karius before the ‘keepers contract requires in 2022.
Unsurprisingly the former German Under 21 ace is yet to feature for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season.
Following a relatively successful spell in Turkey with Besiktas, Karius spent a disappointing 2020/21 campaign at Union Berlin last term.

Valued at £1.8million (Transfermarkt), Liverpool won’t be confident of recouping any money of note due to the German’s dwindling contract.
Whether or not Basel would be willing to shell out for a player available for free just months later is another matter and a mooted loan move may be more conceivable.
However, it’s become ever apparent that Karius has no future at Anfield and a move at the earliest juncture would be best for all parties.
Last night Irish goalkeeper and new understudy to Alisson Becker, Caoimhín Kelleher, once again proved to be the next in line to the throne with a superb penalty save.
