Loris Karius’ partner was furious after she had the word ‘LOSER’ spray painted onto her car by vandals.
Sophia Thomalla, a German actress, presenter and model had her car targeted after the goalkeeper – on loan from Liverpool – said he was keen to remain with Besiktas.
Thomalla, 29, sarcastically captioned the snap on her Instagram; “na klasse” – which translates to ‘no class’.
Liverpool signed Alisson from Roma in a £68m deal to replace Karius as no.1 and the German was sent to the Turkish Super Lig outfit in August, a couple of months after his poor display in the 2018 Champions League final.
Speaking after Besiktas’ 2-1 loss to Trabzonspor, the 25-year-old revealed he does not believe he will return to the Premier League.
“This is a team game. I must not forget this, I am disappointed,” he said.
“Maybe we could have got a point. We have another game [before the end of the season] and a game to win.
“Then we will continue our preparations. I think that if all parties are happy and satisfied, I will continue. My contract with Besiktas continues.”
Recently, however, Karius’ form has improved after a series of costly errors and Besiktas are no longer against the keeper staying for the 2019/20 season.
On Sunday, Karius wrote a lengthy post on his own Instagram, thanking the ‘wonderful’ Besiktas family.
Manchester United and Chelsea go head-to-head on Sunday in one of the most important matches in the battle for a Premier League top four finish.
United are three points off the Blues in fourth and both need to win today to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
Chelsea face their Europa League semi-final first-leg on Thursday meaning they may change their team for the trip to Old Trafford.
But United have been in woeful form as of late, making this game a hard one to call.
The Premier League clash in Manchester takes place on Sunday, April 28 with kick-off at 4:30pm.
The sides have faced each twice already this season with Ross Barkley’s late strike claiming a 2-2 draw in the reverse league fixture in October.
United did beat the Blues 2-0 in their FA Cup clash at Stamford Bridge in February.
The match will be on Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and UHD this weekend.
The programme will get underway at 4:15pm following their coverage of Manchester City’s trip to Burnley.
You can stream it on Now TV with day passes available for £8.99 if you don’t already have a subscription.
Mark Saggers will bring you updates from Old Trafford in our Sunday Exclusive show on talkSPORT.

There has been a lot of coverage about Declan Rice’s England career as the West Ham man decided to switch allegiances, having previously made three appearances in friendlies for the Republic of Ireland.
Rice found himself in the headlines for the all the wrong reasons after reports emerged of the player posting a pro-IRA message on his Instagram and Twitter accounts in 2015, – something he has apologised for.
However, the circus is over and the football has started with England beginning their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign against the Czech Republic.
There was no place for Rice in the XI, with midfielders Jordan Henderson and Eric Dier starting ahead of him.
But when Dier pulled up injured on 17 minutes it looked like Rice’s big moment was finally about to arrive.
However, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate decided to put on the slightly more attack-minded Ross Barkley instead of the West Ham man.
And it appeared to have the desired effect with England taking the lead shortly afterwards and eventually coasting to a 5-0 victory.
Rice did go on to make his first appearance for England when he was brought on for Dele Alli in the 63rd minute.
But these West Ham fans were not impressed that his debut didn’t come sooner. Below you can see the best tweets from these distinctly unhappy Hammers.
Jose Mourinho believes Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola were both given an advantage over him during his time at Manchester United.
The 56-year-old is currently taking a break from management after he was sacked by the Red Devils in December.
Speaking as a pundit after Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Barcelona, Mourinho laments the lack of financial backing he received compared to the his two main rivals.
“I would love to go to a club and be in conditions to do what Jurgen and Pep did,†Mourinho told beIN Sports.
“If you look at the [Liverpool] team that started the game, how many of them were there when Jurgen arrived? A couple.
“And when Pep was not happy with the full-backs he had [at City in 2016-17] and in the [next] summer bought four [three] full-backs that he liked.
“When he bought one goalkeeper like Claudio Bravo and was not happy with Claudio Bravo, the next season he bought Ederson.â€
Mourinho, who won the Europa League and the Carabao Cup during his three year spell at United, questions how Klopp has retained such unwavering support from Liverpool despite failing to win anything.

“When Jurgen is in the club and wins absolutely nothing for three-and-a-half years and he still has the trust, still has the confidence, still has the conditions to try to keep going and going,†Mourinho added.
“Probably this season they have a big chance to do it – the first time that they win a trophy.
“In my next job I will not be starting a conversation without knowing exactly what the club wants and what the club has to give in terms of structure and the club objectives.â€
There is no question that Kylian Mbappe will be at the top of football for years to come.
The PSG forward has already achieved remarkable things in the game at just 20 years old.
He has already notched up 83 career goals and played a starring role in France’s World Cup triumph.
But there is one thing creeping into his game that no-one wants to see; diving.
The French starlet tainted his superb performance against Marseille last week by taking an unnecessary fall to the ground.
But on Friday evening he did his worst dive yet for France in their Euro 2020 qualifying opener against Moldova.
After being played through by N’Golo Kante, the PSG forward attempted to round the Moldova keeper and threw himself to the ground despite absolutely no contact being made.
The dive, as well as Mbappe’s reaction to being caught red-handed, was embarrassing to say the least.
And it’s safe to say fans were far from impressed and believe the antics of his PSG team-mate Neymar may have rubbed off on him.
Have a look at the dive and some hilarious reaction below…
