Liverpool to use Loris Karius in swap deal for Trabzonspor keeper Ugurcan Cakir?

Liverpool will reportedly use Loris Karius in a player-plus-cash deal for Trabzonspor keeper Ugurcan Cakir next summer.

The former joined Besiktas on a two-year loan in 2018 following his horror-show performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

With Karius expected to return to Anfield over the summer, Liverpool are determined to offload the German.

According to Karadeniz Gazetesi, the Reds have offered Karius along with a fee of £8.5m in order to bring Cakir to the club next summer.

The 23-year-old, who became Trabzonspor's first-choice keeper in January 2019, was scouted by Liverpool earlier this season.

Liverpool have been proactive with their keeping options in recent times, signing Alisson Becker and Adrian over the past two seasons along with selling Simon Mignolet.
