Besiktas want permanent deal for Loris Karius

Besiktas are reportedly eyeing a permanent deal for Liverpool loanee goalkeeper Loris Karius.

According to the club president Fikret Orman, has brushed aside suggestions that Karius could be sent back to Liverpool in January and claims instead that he wants to sign him permanently.

Karius has kept one clean sheet in eight games so far this season for the Turkish club and has been heavily criticised for his performances at times.

The 25-year-old goalie is there on a two-year deal, however, and could yet improve over time.

“Karius is an excellent keeper, God willing we will sign him on a permanent transfer,” said Orman, confirming his interest in keeping Karius for good.

“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.”

Alisson Becker replaced Karius at Liverpool in the summer after the German’s mistakes effectively cost Liverpool the Champions League trophy in May.
