Liverpool loan goalkeeper Loris Karius has been handed an Anfield lifeline after the events of the past few weeks.
The German is nearly at the end of his two-year loan spell with Besiktas, but the Super Lig side won’t be extending the terms of his agreement at the end of the season.
Turkish Football reported that Karius will be send back to Liverpool in the summer after making 66 appearances and keeping 13 clean sheets.
Adrian has opened the door for the 26-year-old to still have a squad role to play after the Spaniard made crucial errors in the FA Cup loss to Chelsea and the Champions League exit against Atletico Madrid.
Sky Sports have reported that Liverpool may be considering another option as Alisson‘s back up, but could they find that player from within their own ranks?
Loris Karius has 49 appearances for the Reds under his belt, but was inconsistent at Merseyside and never really won over the doubters. His career appeared to be over after two mistakes gifted Real Madrid goals during the Champions League final in Kiev, but could it be revived?
After Adrian started the season so well, few would have thought we’d be having this conversation in March – but the reality of the past two games has meant it’s one we can’t avoid.
All of a sudden West Ham look more justified in their decision to let the Spaniard leave London for nothing, except the troubles of Roberto highlighted how tough it is to bring in a capable goalkeeper who is willing to sit on the bench.
Karius is capable in his own way, but will he be willing to sacrifice a season of his career to feature in the odd cup game?
It’s unlikely that Alisson will continue to pick up two injuries a season, but Loris Karius has been handed a Liverpool lifeline nevertheless. It’s up to the German to grasp it.
