Loris Karius is on the verge of a two-season loan move to Besiktas.
Karius will have the option of bringing a turbulent two-year stay with Liverpool to an end after losing his place as first-choice goalkeeper to Alisson.
The maligned German found himself demoted behind the Reds’ new record stopper for last weekend’s opening Premier League win over West Ham.
A difficult pre-season has compounded Karius’ prospects in the wake of an error-prone performance in May’s Champions League final defeat.
He travelled with Jurgen Klopp’s side for Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace but is not expected to be included in the squad ahead of a decision on the loan.
Liverpool will receive an initial fee of £2.25 million from Besiktas with a further £7.25m dependent on him meeting performance-related clauses.
Should Karius help the Istanbul-based outfit qualify for Europe, they will have the option of making the deal permanent for a further an additional £7.25m.
Besiktas will have the option to make the deal permanent for a further £7.25m payment, representing a potential £12m profit for Anfield chiefs.
The Turkish Super Lig side are searching for a new goalkeeper after allowing Fabri to join Fulham during the summer transfer window.
Karius’ departure would see Simon Mignolet become Liverpool’s second-choice goalkeeper despite hinting he could leave to pursue first-team football elsewhere.
