Carragher: Liverpool will find Joe Hart wages a problem

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher can't see Joe Hart moving to Anfield.

The Manchester City goalkeeper, currently on-loan at Torino, has been linked with the Reds.

"I'd certainly ask the question, and that is not just because of what we have said about [Loris] Karius in the last couple of weeks," Carragher told Sky Sports.

"You are talking about a title winner, who has won it a couple of times. I do not think Hart is in the same class as a [Thibaut] Courtois or a [David] De Gea, but he is at the next level and really close to them.

"But the problem for Liverpool is that when you try and take a player like that from a City or a Chelsea, the wages are so high that could a goalkeeper come in and be your highest-paid player?

"Things like that cause a problem and it is easy to say: 'Let's go and buy him,' but a manager will be thinking: 'How does that affect the club?'

"Joe Hart quality wise? Of course, but I do not see it happening for Liverpool."
