Loris Karius insisted this week that he will not think about his Liverpool future until the summer and review the situation at the end of the season. Those words came just hours before a howler while in action for loan club Besiktas put him even further away from a return to Anfield.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had big hopes for Karius after signing the German goalkeeper for £4.75m from former club Mainz in 2016, only to be forced into dropping his protégé after a string of errors.
The highest profile of those came in the 2018 Champions League final as two major gaffes handed goals to Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale in a 3-1 Real Madrid win.
