Besiktas have reached an agreement with Liverpool that will see them sign goalkeeper Loris Karius on a two-year-long loan deal with the option to buy him permanently afterwards, according to reports.

With the former Mainz star’s confidence still understood to be critically low following his two mistakes against Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final, it makes sense for him to make a fresh start elsewhere after Liverpool replaced him as the club’s starter with Alisson, who arrived from AS Roma in the summer.
Karius was expected to be Liverpool’s back up to the Brazilian this season but it looks like he’ll now be heading to Turkey.
Besiktas, who offloaded Fabri to Fulham earlier on in the summer, are chasing the signing of a goalkeeper this summer and have evidently identified Karius as an option on loan, with a view to a potential permanent move.
Karius will stay with the Liverpool squad for tonight’s game at Crystal Palace before completing his move to Besiktas.
