Loris Sven Karius, a German professional footballer who plays for Süper Lig club Besiktas and on loan from Premier League club Liverpool, is born on June 22, 1993.
He appeared for Germany at the youth level. Karius, a native of Biberach, began his career with Stuttgart before transferring to Manchester City in 2009.
He returned to Germany with Mainz 05 after two years in Manchester City's youth system.
Before heading to Liverpool in 2016 for a £4.75 million fee, he established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for the Bundesliga team.
Early life
Karius was born in Biberach, Baden-Württemberg, to Christine and Harald Karius. Harald intended for his son to be a motocross racer, but Loris' grandfather, Karl, encouraged him to concentrate on football.
Karius attended Pestalozzi-Gymnasium Biberach until he moved to England in 2009, where he was then privately tutored.
Club career
Karius played for local teams SG Mettenberg and SSV Ulm 1846 before joining VfB Stuttgart, where he progressed through the youth ranks and made his national team against Macedonia in September 2008.
After watching Karius play in Germany's under-16 game against Azerbaijan, his family was welcomed to England by Manchester City, who completed his signing on July 1st 2009. Karius appeared on the under-18 and the under-21 Manchester City teams but did not make a senior appearance during his time in Manchester.
Karius was loaned from Mainz 05, where he competed for Mainz 05's reserve team, Mainz 05, in the Regionalliga. The move was made permanent on January 11, 2012, with Karius committing himself to a two-year contract with a nil option for a third year, which will extend his contract until June 2015.
He made his Mainz 05 debut on December 1, 2012 against Hannover 96, when he was substituted for Shawn Parker after goalkeeper Christian Wetklo had been suspended, making Karius the youngest goalkeeper to play in the Bundesliga for Mainz. He made no further appearances in the 2012-13 season, but he established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper in the 2013–14 season, and announced a three-year contract extension on January 12, 2015.
In a poll of 235 Bundesliga players, Karius was unstoptable in the 2015-2016 season, winning nine clean sheets, saving two penalties, and being named the second-best goalkeeper in the league, behind only Manuel Neuer.
Karius signed with Liverpool on a five-year contract on May 24, 2016. He was given the number one jersey.
On September 20, 2016, he made his EFL Cup debut against Derby County, 3–0. On September 24, he played his first Premier League match against Hull City, which resulted in a 5–1 victory for the Reds. In a 0–0 draw with rivals Manchester United on October 17, he kept his first Premier League clean sheet. Jürgen Klopp announced that Karius was Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper, ahead of Simon Mignolet. Karius was dropped from the starting eleven after two subpar performances in early December, which included spilling Lewis Cook's tame shot into Nathan Aké's path to tap home into an empty net, giving Bournemouth a 4-3 victory. Klopp said he wanted to take Karius "out the firing line" and that "Karius is a young goalkeeper." He will bounce back."
Karius was involved in a tumultuous match in Manchester City's 2018 Champions League quarter-finals, with the scoreline falling 3–1. Only for the linesman to miss out. Karius let Aleksandar Kolarov's shot fly through his hands with the ball striking the crossbar before Liverpool defeated 5-2 in the Champions League semi-final home leg against AS Roma, with the scoreline at 0–0. Karius was embroiled in the game in Rome when he shot out of his goal and knocked down Edin Deko inside the penalty area, but instead of a penalty and red card, the linesman was offside in what The Telegraph described as "an extremely close call." Karius fired a Roma shot into the direction of Deko, who even scored the Roma game at 2–2, before the game ended 4–2 to Roma and 7–6 to Liverpool on aggregate.
In the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final, Karius started for Liverpool against Real Madrid, losing 3-1. He was found to blame for two goals lost by Liverpool, the first and third: his throw was blocked by Karim Benzema and deflected into the net; the second was mishandled Gareth Bale's 40-yard shot.
He wept and apologised to Liverpool supporters who remained in the stands after the game. He also said that his misdeeds "lost the team the final." Karius received online death threats after the match, mainly on Twitter, prompting Merseyside Police to launch an investigation. Karius was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital five days later for an examination. Medics ruled he had an elbow to his head, with one reportedly from Sergio Ramos just minutes before his first mistake was made. Doctors, on the other hand, did not know when he was concussed in the first place. According to doctor Ross Zafonte, it was likely that the concussion had an effect on his results. Klopp said that Karius was "100% inspired by his concussion," contributing to his mistakes, with Klopp adding, "We don't use it as an excuse, not an explanation." It's 100% [for him] [for his appearance]. That knock has influenced him, as 100%.
Liverpool set a world transfer fee record for a goalkeeper when they signed Alisson for an initial fee of €62.5 million (£56 million), potentially increasing to €72 million (£66.8 million) in performance-based compensation. Karius was effectively transferred to a backup role as a result of the signing.
On the 25th of August 2018, Karius joined Turkish club Beşiktaş on a two-year loan transfer. In a scoreless draw, he made several world class saves against Alanyaspor on December 8.
He filed a lawsuit against Beşiktaş in March 2019 for backpayment of four months' salary, despite the club's refusal to pay him. Karius resigned from his employment with the Turkish outfit on May 4, 2020, due to unpaid salaries and after completing the majority of the two years agreed.
Karius was loaned to Union Berlin, Germany, for the 2020–21 season. Karius made his debut in a 3–2 victory over SC Paderborn in the German DFB Pokal on December 22, 2020. In a goalless draw against Schalke on February 13, 2021, he made his first appearance in the Bundesliga for Union Berlin.
Karius returned to Liverpool in July 2021. However, manager Jürgen Klopp announced in January 2022 that Karius would not be included in the squad; he made no further official appearances for the club until the end of his deal. In June, it was announced that Karius would leave the club when his deal came to an end at the end of the month.
Karius signed for Newcastle United on a new deal in September 2022 until January 2023.
International career
Karius played for Germany from the age of 16 to 20, but his appearances were limited due to opposition from other goalkeepers.
