According to the 25-year-old, Klopp said he wanted to keep him so that he’d have the best quality players on his team.
He, however, made his stand known saying that he felt his Besiktas loan move was good for everybody and added that he hoped to win several titles with the Turkish side.
Heres what Karius told reporters:
“He (Klopp) told me he would like to have me in the squad because he wants to have the best quality players,”
“But I spoke to him and asked him for my wish, it is important for me to play for Besiktas.
“I think it was a good deal for everyone. He wished me well but he said he would have liked to keep me.
“I’m still young for a goalkeeper. I want to make the next step and hopefully win many titles with Besiktas.”
