Three motivators to sway exiled Liverpool flop into Bundesliga move Hertha Berlin are seriously interested in a move for Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, who has personal reasons to pursue a move to the Bundesliga, according to reports. Karius, who moved to Anfield from Mainz in the summer of 2016, became an important figure in the Reds’ team after boss Jurgen Klopp appointed his fellow German as his number one choice between the sticks. However, his Liverpool career suffered a telling blow when his two errors cost Liverpool in the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the end of the 2017/18 season. As such, the 26-year-old was sent on a two-year-loan to Besiktas, from where he is due to return at the end of the current campaign without a say in securing any game time. According to German publication Sport1, Hertha are in need of new reinforcements in goal and believe Karius would be an ideal signing. Goalkeeper Thomas Kraft, 31, is set to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Sport1 goes on to claim that Hertha goalkeeper Zsolt Petry has been tracking Karius for a “long time” alongside the club’s sporting director Michael Preetz, who previously pondered a move for the German in 2015. However, Preetz refused to open up on the rumours, saying: “We generally do not comment on such rumors. “We would like to keep it that way. It is also the case that our transfer planning towards summer is currently at a standstill against the background of the current situation.” Karius reportedly has two personal reasons to move back to Germany; it is said that he would prefer to play in a “sportier” league than the Turkish top flight, while his model girlfriend Sophia Thomalla also lives in Berlin.
