Loris Karius, Liverpool’s forgotten goalkeeper, will officially return to Anfield on June 30 as he comes close to agreeing a severance deal with Besiktas.
The German moved to Turkey in the summer of 2018. He had endured a miserable time with Liverpool, following a calamitous performance in the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid and – most significantly – a number of mistakes in pre-season.
When Karius joined Besiktas, the initial terms of his loan were such that they were obliged to buy him for £10million if he completed two years in Turkey but his stay has not gone according to plan.
