A Liverpool 'villain' already has a new team

Loris Karius will try to get rid of all his ghosts that have haunted him in recent years, as his time at Anfield undoubtedly left him marked by that double failure he had in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid, and since then, a decline in his career even led him to leave the field for a year, returning for this season to Newcastle to redeem all his mistakes.

The 29-year-old German goalkeeper ended his contract with Liverpool where he is not at all well received by the fans. The goalkeeper remained in the shadow of Alisson Becker and Caoimhín Kelleher, quickly running out of places at the Reds, having to stay on the fringes of the squad without a place on the bench, leaving him only to train to keep his rhythm of play until a new team came in search of his services.

With his ghosts haunting his mind, the German goalkeeper went out on loan to Besiktas for the 2019-2020 season, and subsequently migrated to Union Berlin for the 2020-2021 season. After his last standby, Karius was ready and willing to return under the sticks and be that determining factor as he once was at Anfield, marking his return to the English league but now with a bigger challenge by being contracted by the "Magpies".

With the departures of Martin Dubravka and Freddie Woo during the summer transfer window, as well as the injury to Karl Darlow, the opportunity has opened up for the Teutonic keeper to make up for the loss on the pitch after four difficult years that brought down his career with a single 3-1 defeat.

What happened to Karius?

In a very short time the German goalkeeper will officially return to the Premier League with Newcastle, a team that so far has drawn four games, won one and lost one, placing with these numbers as eleventh in the standings with 7 points, still far from those privileged positions that give places in European competitions for 2023.
