Besiktas are ready to buy on-loan Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius.

In the second of a two season loan with the Turks, it's been claimed Besiktas have been keen to cut their losses and send the German back to Anfield.

However, Fotomac says Karius' form has now led to club execs making contact with the Reds about a permanent deal.

Rather than wait until June to trigger their option, Besiktas want to buy Karius in January for a fee of €8m.

For his part, Karius is also keen, having ruled out a return to England.
