Loris Karius makes Jurgen Klopp 'bad blood' admission amid Liverpool transfer claim

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has admitted there is no "bad blood" between himself and Jurgen Klopp following the agonising end to his stay at Anfield.

The former Germany under-21 goalkeeper, who was signed by the Reds from Mainz 05 in July 2016, saw his career on Merseyside brutally ended after he made a string of errors in the 2018 Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid. Karius handed Los Blancos striker Karim Benzema a gift for the opening goal of the evening before he later fumbled Gareth Bale's long-range effort into the back of his goal to condemn Klopp's side to a 3-1 defeat at the NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv.

Despite the Liverpool manager handing his full backing to the goalkeeper in the days, weeks and months after the final, the signing of Alisson Becker - for a then world-record fee - would spell the end of the German's stay at Anfield as he would never take to the field for Liverpool in a professional setting again.
