Goalkeeper Loris Karius has left Liverpool to join Besiktas on a two-year loan deal.

Karius - who made two costly errors in the Champions League final loss to Real Madrid in May - has been replaced as Liverpool's number one by Alisson Becker.

An exit has appeared on the cards for some time and Turkey is where the 25-year-old will now head.

"Everybody at LFC wishes Loris the best of luck during his loan spell," a statement said.

Addressing the potential move on Friday, manager Jurgen Klopp said Karius had not been "sacked", adding: "It is only change. That's football, no problem with that."

Brazilian Alisson kept his third clean sheet of the campaign in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Brighton today.
