After a brief loan spell at Turkish club, Besiktas, Loris Karius is set to cancel his two-year contract earlier than expected after a dispute over unpaid wages left the German unhappy as reported by the Guardian. This means that a return to Liverpool is on the horizon and a return to an experience Karius will want to forget. The Reds will have a big decision to make regarding the goalkeeper’s future at Anfield in the summer, with a potential exit on the cards.
REPORT: Loris Karius Set For Wolves Loan
New Wolves Number 1?
According to the Daily Mail, Wolves are interested in the German on loan for next season, giving Karius a second chance in England, and the chance to finally forget his Champions League nightmare in 2018. And the move would make sense Wolves with their current goalkeeper, Rui Patricio, 32, approaching retirement with each passing season. Karius, however, is still only 26 and provides Wolves with a long term replacement for the Portuguese international.
The transfer would also be a risk-free one for Wolves with the loan move almost acting as a trial for the Liverpool goalkeeper. If Karius impresses, Wolves have a high chance of securing his services permanently and for a cut-price, getting a proven number one in the process. And if he fails to impress, they can simply say goodbye at the end of the loan spell.
Other Options
With Liverpool’s current number two, Adrian, recently struggling when asked to replace the injured Alisson, Karius could be prefered to the Spaniard on the Liverpool bench. And prior to the calamity in the Champions League final, he wasn’t having a bad season and was beginning to win over plenty of fans. His ability on the ball was impressive and shot-stopping ability improving, but it simply wasn’t to be as he returned to his old, costly ways on the biggest of stages.
A return to Liverpool or another Premier League club could act as a redemption opportunity for Karius and a chance to finally turn the page in what has been a career full of moments to forget so far.
