Liverpool are in dialogue with Loris Karius' representatives as he seeks to resolve his ongoing dispute with Besiktas.

The German keeper, who is on loan in Turkey, has asked FIFA to take action after it emerged that he's owed four months wages.

Karius filed a complaint with the governing body last month and a 10-day deadline for Besiktas to pay the debt has since expired.

Anfield officials have been left baffled by the stinging criticism Karius has faced in Istanbul and believe he's been unfairly treated.

Besiktas boss Senol Gunes accused Karius of going “a bit stagnant” and lacking motivation following last weekend's game against Konyaspor.

Gunes, who claimed he would rather not pick the 25-year-old, said: “He is talented but it hasn't worked out and we have a problem.”

Considering it's a two-year loan with no get-out clause and Karius has been a mainstay of the side, Liverpool believe it's strange that Besiktas have publicly questioned him.

Karius has started 21 out of 22 Turkish Super League games this season and played five out of six in the Europa League group stage.

Third placed Besiktas have gone eight games unbeaten and are currently 16 points clear of rivals Fenerbahce.

The dispute over unpaid wages has raised questions about Karius' future in Turkey. However, there have been no talks so far about cutting short his loan.

Liverpool banked a loan fee of £2.25million when Karius joined Besiktas last August.

Besiktas are obligated to buy him for a further £7.25million in the summer of 2020 if certain performance criteria are met. These are related to appearances and Besiktas qualifying for Europe.

Karius sought to relaunch his career in Turkey after the nightmare he endured in last season's Champions League final.

He lost his status as Liverpool No.1 following the club's £65million swoop for Alisson Becker.
