Besiktas president Fikret Orman has dismissed reports Loris Karius could return to Liverpool from his loan prematurely, telling reporters he wants to sign the German to a permanent deal.
Speaking to Harberle (h/t Sky Sports), Orman dismissed the speculation completely: "Karius is an excellent keeper; God willing, we will sign him on a permanent transfer. These stories are complete nonsense. Give Karius some time is all I'm saying. Karius has a lot of work to do but give him time."
