Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will reportedly allow Loris Karius to join Besiktas on loan this month.

The Reds goalkeeper has been usurped as Klopp's first-choice after they struck a £65million deal to sign Alisson from Roma in July.

Karius ' position came under fire after two horrendous mistakes in the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid and the German failed to convince Klopp of his long-term credentials with an error-strewn pre-season campaign.

Liverpool offloaded Danny Ward to Leicester in the summer for around £12million and are still willing to listen to offers for Simon Mignolet before the August 31 transfer deadline for clubs in Europe.

However, Besiktas are keen on taking on Karius to Turkey for the season and Klopp is happy to sanction the deal, according to The Mirror .

It is claimed that talks are ongoing between the respective parties and that a loan switch could lead to a permanent move for the German shot-stopper.

Should Karius depart, it is reported that Mignolet will not be allowed to leave and will spend the season as Alisson's understudy at Anfield.

Karius was part of the substitutes' bench last week as Liverpool began their pre-season campaign with a 4-0 thumping of West Ham United at Anfield, but the former Mainz man will play second fiddle to Alisson if he remains at the club this month.

Speaking on Friday, Klopp insisted that the decision to sell any squad member would ultimately rest with him, saying: "No player would leave this club if I didn't allow it. If he leaves then I've said yes."

Speaking shortly after Alisson completed a then world-record £65million switch from Roma in July, Karius admitted that he would be considering his long-term options with the Reds.

He said: "Of course (Alisson signing) that's not perfect for me, but I cannot say much more about that either.

"I do not know that (whether he will leave before the deadline). I cannot say what I'm doing right now, there's still some time left."

Meanwhile, in a busy few days of transfer activity at Anfield, Marko Grujic joined Ragnar Klavan through the exit door at Anfield after moving to Hertha Berlin on loan for the season.

The Serbian midfielder moved to the Bundesliga side on a season-long loan after agreeing a contract extension with the Reds to keep him at Anfield until 2023.

That deal came after Klavan signed for Serie A side Cagliari for £2million on Friday evening, while Dortmund have registered an interest in striker Divock Origi.
