Wolverhampton Wanderers fans react as club reportedly agree deal with Liverpool

Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly have an agreement in place to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius on loan for the 2020-21 campaign after his Besiktas spell came to an end – and Wolves fans have reacted on Twitter.

Karius, 26, last played for Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final – but two howlers that allowed Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale to score saw the German stopper immediately shipped out on loan to Besiktas for two seasons.

With the Turkish club, Karius has kept just 14 clean sheets for Besiktas in 67 games – conceding a whopping 95 goals in that time, such is the style of football in the SuperLig. He has a contract until the summer of 2022 at Liverpool.

Now, Karius has returned to Liverpool early from his second season at Besiktas, and that Wolves have agreed a deal to sign the former Mainz goalkeeper on loan next season to rival Portuguese veteran Rui Patricio.

Liverpool already have Alisson in goal, who was signed by the Reds after Karius went on loan – while Adrian was brought to Anfield on a free transfer after his West Ham contract had expired. Andy Lonergan is in reserve.

Wolves supporters reacted to the reported news that their club had an agreement in place to land Karius on loan – with a decision yet to be made by the player himself. Many believe it is a signing that just “makes sense”, while some are not pleased.
