Liverpool are locked in talks with Mainz for goalkeeper Loris Karius.

The Daily Mail says Liverpool are in talks with Mainz over the transfer of Karius, with a deal of around £5million expected to be firmed up over the next week.

Jurgen Klopp is looking to increase competition for Simon Mignolet, who signed a five-year contract extension at Anfield in January.

Karius, 22, had a spell at Manchester City as a teenager and has made 91 appearances for Mainz, who Klopp played for and went on to manage.
