Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius completes two-year loan move to Besiktas
After Loris Karius' tumultuous Champions League final, Shaka Hislop feels his move to Besiktas will be a breath of fresh air for him.
Besiktas have completed the signing of Loris Karius on a two-year loan, Liverpool confirmed on Saturday.
Sources have told ESPN FC that Besiktas will pay an initial loan fee worth £2.25 million and that the deal will become permanent if Karius reaches a certain number of appearances at the Turkish club and if they qualify for European football.
Liverpool would be due another £7.25m if the move becomes permanent and have inserted a 20 percent sell-on clause.
A statement on Liverpool's website said: "Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has joined Turkish side Besiktas on a two-year loan deal.

"Everybody at LFC wishes Loris the best of luck during his loan spell."
Karius's place at Liverpool had been in severe doubt following his two horrendous errors in their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in May. Liverpool then signed Alisson from Roma in the summer, further raising doubt over Karius' future.
His departure means Simon Mignolet will serve the 2018-19 season as Alisson's deputy.
Karius has made 49 appearances for Liverpool since his £4.7m arrival from Bundesliga side Mainz in 2016.
