Hart was allowed to leave Manchester City in the summer by Pep Guardiola and is currently on loan at Italian side Torino.
The 29-year-old still has two years left on his contract but his long-term future at the Etihad is far from certain.
Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has come in for criticism after his mistake allowed Bournemouth to score a dramatic late winner on Sunday.
But despite his doubts over Karius, Carragher admits he does not think Hart will be replacing the German.

Joe Hart quality wise? Of course, but I do not see it happening for Liverpool
"I'd certainly ask the question, and that is not just because of what we have said about [Loris] Karius in the last couple of weeks," the former Reds captain told Sky Sports.
"You are talking about a title winner, who has won it a couple of times. I do not think Hart is in the same class as a [Thibaut] Courtois or a [David] De Gea, but he is at the next level and really close to them.

"But the problem for Liverpool is that when you try and take a player like that from a City or a Chelsea, the wages are so high that could a goalkeeper come in and be your highest-paid player?
"Things like that cause a problem and it is easy to say: 'Let's go and buy him,' but a manager will be thinking: 'How does that affect the club?'
"Joe Hart quality wise? Of course, but I do not see it happening for Liverpool.”
