Loris Karius has been on the books for Liverpool for a while now but the German has been nowhere close to playing for the club again.
Jurgen Klopp has explained the situation with Karius in detail in conversation with Liverpool's official website.
"One thing is Loris Karius the player, who is doing absolutely nothing wrong, who is in a really good shape, who is training very hard," Klopp said.
"He is committed, the goalie coaches are fully committed, that’s clear. But before the season we made a decision. Obviously it was in the club’s interest as well that Loris finds a new club, stuff like this. That didn’t happen, so fine.
"We made a decision: he’ll be treated completely normally absolutely but we have the goalies. As long as we don’t have a massive situation here, our No.1 is Ali, our No.2 is Caoimh, No.3 is Adrian, No.4 is Marcelo and then there’s already four goalkeepers.
"We were never in a situation where we had to use the fifth one. It has nothing to do with the quality, we made the decision and the boys do really well obviously.
"I think everybody is impressed by the development of Caoimhin Kelleher, who is ready for pretty much everything. We all know about the quality of Adrian and the impact he has on training and the dressing room and stuff like this and would always be ready to go.
"And Marcelo is an incredible talent, an absolutely incredible talent, the next one in line. That’s it. But Loris, I wish him only the best and he will find a club whenever – now or in the summer. And then from there he will go on, I’m very sure."
Considering that Karius is the 5th choice keeper, it looks more likely than not that he will be allowed to leave on a free as it's unlikely the Reds will be able to find a suitor for him.
