Loris Karius has finally sealed the move to Besiktas after completing his medical to rejuvenate his career away from Merseyside.
The German International has penned a two-year loan deal at Beskitas with the opportunity of landing a permanent contract if the goalkeeper secures a certain amount of appearances for the Super Lig title contenders.
Karius’ entrance means he will be adjoining an experienced Besiktas defence with the likes of Adriano, Vida and Pepe, to ordain the potential once sought by Jurgen Klopp.
After undergoing a successful medical at a hospital in Istanbul, Karius will be presented in front of Besiktas fans when they face opposition – Antalyaspor tonight at Vodafone Park.
In the wake of another Liverpool victory against Brighton, Jurgen Klopp said this to The Mirror about Karius’ transfer to the Turkish Club:
Loris is a fantastic goalkeeper at a very good goalkeeper age.
A lot of people speak now about our improved defensive things and as good as Alisson was in the last three games, in most of the games when we were already really good in that he was not here. It was Loris in goal and he did a lot of good things.
When I saw the Besiktas team, it’s quite an experienced team they have there. They have a good chance to win the league in Turkey, that’s cool.
Now they have a really good goalkeeper. I’m really happy for him and he was very happy about the opportunity as well.
