Goalkeeper Loris Karius drops huge hint over Liverpool future

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has dropped a big hint over his long-term future.

The shot-stopper, who joined Besiktas on loan at the start of the season, looks set to stay in Turkey after it was reported his girlfriend is about to make a permanent move to Istanbul to move in with the German.

Karius has been dating German model Sophia Thomalla since last year, and Turkish news outlet Kral Spor have reported her support and increased visits have been fundamental to the keeper's recent improvement in form.

The goalie endured a difficult start to his two-year loan at the Turkish club.

And following some poor performances and high-profile errors, as well as a dispute over wages, Karius's future was uncertain.

But the 25-year-old, whose Reds' contract runs until 2021, finally appears to be settled in the Super Lig.

The former Mainz player made a penalty save at the weekend as Besiktas won their sixth game in a row.

They currently sit third in the league and are three points off the top with four games left to play.
