It seemed inevitable after Loris Karius' performance in the Champions League final that the German's days at Anfield were numbered. Claims of concussion aside, the 25-year-old has not been able to rebuild his confidence in preseason, with several mistakes littering the former Mainz keeper's game of late.
There has been talk that Karius will leave Anfield in the coming weeks, with Turkish club Besiktas mooted as a possible destination and according to Liverpool Echo's James Pearce Karius is set to join the Turkish Süper Lig side on an initial two year loan, with the option to buy at the end of that deal:

Despite this report will Karius still travel with the Liverpool squad to face Crystal Palace tonight, but should the keeper leave Jurgen Klopp will most likely keep Simon Mignolet at the club with no other senior stopper apart from new signing Alisson Becker on Liverpool's books.
