John Barnes does not think that Liverpool will sell Loris Karius in the summer transfer window.
Karius established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for Liverpool this past season.
The 24-year-old former Germany Under-21 international goalkeeper, though, made two big mistakes in the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev last month.
Liverpool fans will probably want manager Jurgen Klopp to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.
Reds legend Barnes believes that Karius will stay even if even the Merseyside outfit sign a new goalkeeper this summer.
The former England international winger, though, does expect Simon Mignolet to leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
Barnes said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Tuesday morning (09:15am, June 5, 2018) about Karius: “I don’t necessarily think that they are going to sell him because I think that if there is one who is going to leave, it will probably be Mignolet because he wants to go and play first-team football somewhere.
“And then, if Liverpool get a goalkeeper, I think Karius will stay. I don’t think both of them will leave, put it that way.”
Loris Karius or Simon Mignolet?
Karius has done quite well for Liverpool, and it must be said that players do make mistakes from time to time, even big ones.
It is hard to see Klopp sell the German – who earns £25,000 per week as salary according to The Express – this summer, although Mignolet will probably leave.
The 30-year-old Belgium international goalkeeper, who cost Liverpool £9 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Sunderland in the summer of 2013 according to BBC Sport, has lost his place in the Reds’ starting lineup and is unlikely to regain it.
