LORIS KARIUS’ Liverpool stint appears to be coming to an end after Besiktas posted a picture of the goalkeeper on their Twitter page before then removing it.

The German shot-stopper had been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer following the arrival of Alisson from Roma for £67million.

Turkish side Besiktas were widely tipped to be the destination for the 25-year-old although no official confirmation had been forthcoming.

But a subtle change to their official club banner would suggest that may not be far away as Karius' name was flashed across the new version.

That was also accompanied with a picture of the keeper in the club’s colours before the club then swiftly removed it.

It would bring an end to a turbulent few months for Karius who was at fault for two goals during Liverpool’s 3-1 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid last summer.

Manager Jurgen Klopp came out in defence of his player afterwards and he still supported him despite further clangers in pre-season against Tranmere and Borussia Dortmund.

But that support would not prevent a U-turn from Klopp who has now decided the keeper is no longer part of his plans.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Brighton, he said: There's nothing new about Loris. If it happens that's how it goes in football, these things can happen.

"As a manager you don't usually need much time between one game and another to get the sack, that's how things can change. Things in football change."
