FC Basel are eyeing Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius.

After spending last season on-loan with Union Berlin, Karius is currently back at Liverpool, though not registered for the Premier League.

BILD says Basel are preparing a January move for Karius.

The Swiss wish to take the keeper on-loan for the second-half of the season.

Karius, 28, was strictly limited to the bench at Union Berlin last term.
