Loris Karius has claimed Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wanted him to remain part of the Reds' squad before the former Germany Under-21 international agreed to join Turkish giants Besiktas.
Karius established himself as Liverpool's number one last season despite some shaky performances between the sticks.
Two gaffes in the Champions League final against Real Madrid showed Klopp that Karius wasn't the keeper the club needed, and the signing of Alisson Becker over the summer suggested that Karius' stay on Merseyside may be over.
The German joined Besiktas on loan, and at his unveiling, the stopper revealed what Klopp said to him before he left.
