Why Besiktas want to send Karius back to Liverpool

Loris Karius could be about to return Liverpool just three months into his two-year loan to Besiktas.

German keeper Karius was allowed to leave the Reds in the summer after a series of high profile blunders.

Karius’ worst horror show came in the Champions League final when he made two gaffes in Kiev to gift the trophy to Real Madrid .

His clangers continued into pre-season, and with the arrival of Brazilian shot stopper Alisson, Jurgen Klopp sanctioned a two-season loan to Turkey.

Besiktas are also paying 50 per cent of Karius’ wages and have the option to turn the loan into a permanent deal.

But after a howler on his debut, where he came out to a cross and got nowhere near keeping it out, and then another against Malmo in the Europa League – which saw him flap unconvincingly and concede – Besiktas have lost their patience.

Turkish giants Besiktas are hoping to agree a bizarre deal which would see Karius making an Anfield comeback and winger Divock Origi arriving in the Super Lig on the same terms, according to Fotomac .

Belgian forward Origi has only managed three first team appearances this season – featuring against Napoli and Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League along with a Premier League outing against Huddersfield .


Klopp is likely to allow Origi to depart, but might not be as keen to allow Karius to return.

Surprisingly, based on the report, Karius remains Besiktas’ No.1 having started against Rizespor on Monday night – in a game they won 4-1.

Meanwhile, Karius’ replacement Alisson has starred for the joint Premier League leaders – keeping eight clean sheets in 14 appearances.

Although one fan hasn’t been impressed with the Brazil international.

Mexican Reds fan Edwing Tellez hit out at the former Roma man on Twitter, which the Reds ace didn’t take kindly to.
