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.
