Liverpool’s refusal to ‘pay any compensation’ to Loris Karius have scuppered a potential January move to SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
That’s according to Kicker, quoted by Fussball Transfers, who say the German side have been forced to abandon any ideas regarding a move.
Karius remains out of the picture at Anfield, having been replaced by Alisson Becker and supplanted in the backup role by Caoimhín Kelleher.
He had been linked with a move back to Germany, where he played earlier in his career, with Fürth named as an option last month.
Kicker now report that they’ve had to ‘say goodbye’ to any hopes of a deal, though, as Liverpool don’t want to ‘pay any compensation’ to the 28-year-old.
That means a transfer is ‘probably not financially feasible’ for the Bundesliga club, and they’ll have to abandon their interest, leaving Karius tied to Liverpool until the end of the season.
