According to James Pearce of the Athletic, Loris Karius is set to return to Liverpool this summer.

The 26-year-old joined Liverpool in 2016 for a fee in the region of £4.7 million, and has been out on loan at Besiktas.

The report claims that the Turkish club are unwilling to buy the German goalkeeper for £7.25 million following his turbulent loan spell.

Liverpool are ‘open to offers’ for the former Mainz goalkeeper.

Pearce wrote for The Athletic: “Liverpool banked a £2.25 million fee for an initial two-year loan with the club confirming at the time that there was an obligation to buy him for a further £7.25 million if certain performance criteria were met related to appearances and European qualification.”

Many Liverpool fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction. Here are some of the selected tweets:
