Liverpool reach Loris Karius loan agreement with Wolves after Besiktas transfer decision
Liverpool are unlikely to hand Loris Karius a second chance to redeem himself at Anfield.
Liverpool: Loris Karius trains with Besiktas while on loan
Liverpool have reached an agreement with Wolves to loan Loris Karius to Molineux next season, according to reports in Turkey. The goalkeeper is set to leave Besiktas this summer after a two-year loan spell in Turkey.
During that time, Karius has failed to convince the Turkish Super Lig club to sign him on a permeant basis.
Talks have previously been held to terminate his loan contract which finishes at the end of this season.
It's already clear that Karius does not have a future at Liverpool and would be free to find another club.
According to Turkish outlet Fanatik (via Sport Witness), Liverpool have already struck an agreement over a deal for Karius with another Premier League club.

His model girlfriend Sophia Thomalla lives in Berlin and could play a factor in his final decision.
Hertha manager Michael Preetz has tried to sign Karius before and was coy when asked about the prospect of signing him this time around.
"We generally do not comment on such rumours. We would like to keep it that way," he said.
"It is also the case that our transfer planning towards summer is currently at a standstill against the background of the current situation."
Karius will have the final say on any move and he could still try and fight for his place at Liverpool.
He would be battling a lost cause though, given his performance in the 2018 Champions League final.
Karius cost Liverpool two goals in Kiev as they went down 3-1 to Real Madrid.
Adrian could consider his Liverpool future at the end of the season but Jurgen Klopp is likely to sign another goalkeeper if he does leave.
