LIVERPOOL flop Loris Karius is reportedly in a relationship with stunning TV presenter Diletta Leotta.

The keeper was widely blamed for two Real Madrid goals as they beat the Reds 3-1 in the 2018 Champions League final.

The German was sent death threats and abuse despite suffering a head injury during the game in Kiev that affected his vision.

Liverpool shipped him out on loans to Besiktas and Union Berlin before his Anfield contract expired in June.

The 29-year-old has since joined Newcastle on a short-term deal, but is yet to play for Eddie Howe's side.

Karius has now become the talk of Italy after popular celebrity magazine Gente claimed he and Leotta have struck up a relationship.

The blonde beauty, 31, has been a top TV sports presenter for a decade. She is also a model and internet celebrity.

Diletta recently ended a relationship with male model Giacomo Cavalli.

Gente claimed that she has begun an intensive English language course to deepen her connection with Karius.

The reports come as fans marvel at the keeper's incredible transformation since leaving Merseyside.
