LIVERPOOL are ready to offload Loris Karius and will offer him to Trabzonspor as part of a swap deal for Uğurcan Çakır, according to reports.
The error prone stopper made another gaffe for Turkish side Besiktas – where he is on loan from the Merseysiders – on Friday and the Reds reportedly want to get rid.

Cakir is widely considered one of Turkey’s hottest young talents and is on the radar of many of Europe’s top clubs.
And having conceded just 18 goals in the Super Lig this season, Liverpool will offer Karius as part of a swap deal to make the 23-year-old pick Anfield, according to Turkish outlet Karadeniz Gazetesi.
The Reds will reportedly offer around £8.5million as well as Karius to persuade to the Turkish side – who sit third in the league – to sell.
Alisson remains Liverpool’s number one but Cakir would reportedly come in to replace ex-West Ham man Adrian as deputy as he is ten years younger than the Spaniard who is 33.
While it remains to be seen whether Cakir will make the switch, Karius’ latest howler seems to have confirmed the end of his Anfield career.
Besiktas were playing Altinordu in friendly when the on-loan Liverpool man decided to make his mark.
Besiktas went 1-0 up in the game when former Sunderland man Jermaine Lens netted.
But then Altinordu broke forward, a player pinged the ball into the box and Karius decided to flap it into his own goal.
Since exiting Anfield, he has made a series of high-profile errors that have usually ended up gifting goals to the opposition.
Karius has failed to win over the Besiktas supporters as well as the club’s manager since arriving last year and their form this year has been disappointing.
