Loris Karius career

Before joining VfB Stuttgart, Karius played for local teams SG Mettenberg and SSV Ulm 1846. There, he advanced through the youth ranks and made his German under-16 national team debut against Macedonia in September 2008.

After seeing him play for Germany’s under-16 team against Azerbaijan, Manchester City asked Karius and his family to visit England. His signing was confirmed on July 1, 2009.

In August 2011, Mainz 05 borrowed Karius from Manchester City, who thereafter played for Mainz 05 II, the club’s Regionalliga reserve squad. On January 11, 2012, Karius committed to a two-year contract with a third-year option that would extend his contract to June 2015, making the change permanent.

When Shawn Parker was replaced in the Mainz 05 goal against Hannover 96 on December 1, 2012, following goalkeeper Christian Wetklo’s dismissal, Karius became the club’s youngest goalie ever to play in the Bundesliga at the age of 19 years and 5 months.

Karius signed a five-year, £4.75 million contract with Liverpool on May 24, 2016. He received the jersey with the number 1. On September 20, 2016, he made his professional debut in a 3-0 EFL Cup victory over Derby County. On September 24, he took the field for his debut Premier League game against Hull City, which the Reds won 5-1.

Karius was involved in a contentious incident during the second leg of the 2018 Champions League quarterfinal at Manchester City, with the overall score be ing 3-1 in favor of Liverpool. Karius failed to clear a cross into the penalty area, punching the ball down, which ricocheted off teammate James Milner and into the path of Man City winger Leroy Sané, who scored, but the linesman ruled offside.

When the score was 0-0 in Liverpool’s Champions League semifinal home match against AS Roma, goalkeeper Karius allowed Aleksandar Kolarov’s shot get between his hands and hit the crossbar before Liverpool went on to win 5-2.

In the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final, which Real Madrid and Liverpool both defeated 3-1, Karius started for Liverpool. He was blamed for two of Liverpool’s goals, the first and third. The first came when Karim Benzema blocked his throw and it rebounded into the goal, while the second came after he handled Gareth Bale’s 40-yard effort improperly.

Liverpool acquired Alisson Becker in July 2018 for an initial cost of €62.5 million (£56 million), which may increase to €72 million (£66.8 million) with performance-based bonuses. This shattered the previous record for the highest transfer fee paid for a goalkeeper.

Karius signed a two-year loan agreement with the Turkish team Beşiktas on August 25, 2018. He made numerous stops against Alanyaspor on December 8 of last year, resulting in a scoreless tie.

Karius was loaned to the German team Union Berlin on September 28, 2020, for the 2020–21 campaign. In a 3-2 loss to SC Paderborn in the German DFB Pokal on December 22, 2020, Karius made his professional debut.

Karius visited Liverpool once more in July 2021. Karius did not make another official appearance for the team until his contract expired, despite manager Jürgen Klopp’s declaration that he would not be part of the squad in January 2022.

Karius joined Newcastle United on September 12, 2022, with an initial deal lasting until January 2023. Karius signed a contract extension to stay with the team through the end of the season on January 19, 2023.
