Report: Karius to return to Liverpool after Besiktas loan

Loris Karius is heading back to Liverpool at the end of the season.
 

The German goalkeeper’s two year loan spell with Besiktas concludes in May and The Mirror (via The Athletic) says that the Turkish club have no plans to trigger the buy-on clause to make the deal permanent.

The spell of Karius in England was littered with high profile blunders highlighted by his calamitous performance in the 2018 Champions League final and those mistakes have continued to haunt him in Turkey.

So much so that last March Senol Gunes his manager at the time said:

“Karius has gone a bit stagnant, something is wrong with his electricity, motivation, enthusiasm for the game."

The 26 year-old will return to his parent club, but he will do so in the knowledge that there is no future for him at the Reds.

Not only is his replacement Alisson firmly ensconced as the No 1, he is widely acknowledged as the best goalkeeper in World Football.

The backup role is ably filled by Adrian who did a fine job at the start of the season when the Brazilian was out with a calf injury.

While youngster Caoimhín Kelleher has gained experience in domestic cup competitions.

So all that means that the inconsistent German will be on the lookout for another club.

There is a wide held view that goalkeepers mature much later that their outfield colleagues so in that sense Karius has many years to make an impression in the game.

Just how much the Reds can get for him will be very interesting to note.

Haaland scores again for Dortmund. Unreal.

 

Wrong thread. If he’d scored against Karius it wouldn’t be unreal I guess.

It would be an incredible strike... about 1250 miles, he would need to strike it cleanly

I'm not sure what he does from here, but it's pretty clear the club isn't in an ideal position right now to take a punt on him in any competitive fixture, in the hope he might come good. 

 

That said, it's sad to see the amount of hate he gets still, not to mention any good form he has ever shown been sucked into the memory hole. 

 

I'd hope he can rebuild his career, tough as it sounds right now.

So do I Chris. He's clearly a bag of nerves, he looks completely broken, and for the sake of his long term mental health I honestly think he needs to retire from football altogether. Step away from the spotlight and scrutiny and the pressures that must obviously bring, allow himself the space and privacy needed to fully recover.

If he really wanted that he'd just have to delete his Instagram account. Hence,I don't think he wants to do that.

To be fair to him he was in some really good form till the final and he lost it spectacularly. He'll be back and moved on he'll never get a chance to regain even a backup to Adrian.

He's rebuilt his career hasn't he? He's played mid table in Turkey for 2 years, it's a better level than most think he should be playing at. Besiktas just have better things to spend 7m on and if they don't qualify for Europe being forced to buy him, they'll move onto someone else.

 

I don't think there's anything unreasonable about the shit he gets (although I'm not on twitter so I don't know what is said there unless it's posted here). He's fucking shite, he's very far from being a good pro and after that European cup final when he should have been showing some humility, he was out promoting himself on photo shoots. By all accounts that's what got him bombed, not because he's a fucking shite goalie. I think the money we all spend on watching this team, the very least we should expect from every last player is professionalism and if they don't do it, they'll rightly get shit.

"Really good form" = "Managing to go two games without throwing one into his own net"

I genuinely can't stand Karius. He's poison and does not represent what this team is about. 

 

Look at the reaction of his team mates after the Final. Not one of them could be arsed to go and console him. You can read between the lines, they all know he's a flash dickhead who has an inflated opinion of his own abilities. 

 

I actually felt sorry for him after Kiev. Then about 48 hours later he releases that promotional video of himself on his Instagram.

 

That tells you everything you need to know about who Loris Karius really is. He's a piece of shit and he cost this club a Champions League because he was more focused on his off the field egotistical shite and not improving his goalkeeping, which he steals a living for anyway. 

 

He's fucking shite. Fuck off, Karius.

So that's a 'no' from Crazy Dave.

He'll be an expensive ballboy if he does come back.

He's done here, he knows it, Klopp knows it, we know it.  It's a case of either loan him him out until his contract expires or sell him, with the latter being dependant on somebody trusting him enough to spend money on him.
