Loris Karius Responds On Instagram After Reports Say Besiktas Want To Send Him Back To Liverpool

Loris Karius took to Instagram to respond to reports that Besiktas want to end his loan spell early and send him back to Liverpool.

The 25-year-old German 'keeper penned an 18-month loan deal with the Turkish side in the summer but things haven't exactly improved for Karius, who made an absolute howler in the Europa League game against Malmo earlier this month.

Karius has just one clean sheet for the club and there's been talk that Besiktas want to cut short the temporary stint after just three months.

James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo refuted the reports and claimed "the club have given Liverpool no indication that they are unhappy with his form" and that there is no such clause whereby the loan can be terminated early.

Karius himself has now weighed in on his Instagram story, posting a picture of him drinking a coffee - accompanied by the caption, "coffee first, media's bullshit second."

The player's agent also commented on the rumours, deeming talk of him possibly leaving Istanbul imminently as "complete nonsense".

Moreover, there have been additional reports suggesting the Super Lig outfit are interested in signing Divock Origi on loan.

The Belgian striker returned from a loan with Wolfsburg this summer but hasn't made a single appearance, with Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge well ahead of him in the pecking order.
