Transfers can be difficult and see a transformation in a player's life and former Newcastle and Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has moved to German side Schalke without his high-profile wife

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has explained the mentality that sets Alisson apart and how that left him “happy to be able to sit on the bench.” Mignolet’s career at Liverpool is an interesting one, having arrived as their new No. 1 in 2013 before losing his place to Loris Karius, but ultimately outlasting him.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has joined German second-tier side Schalke until the end of the season. Karius, 31, had been without a club since his contract with Newcastle expired at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Rewind to before Alisson’s time, though, and things were not quite so rosy. With Jurgen Klopp unconvinced by Simon Mignolet as Liverpool’s number one, he signed Loris Karius in the summer of 2016.

Liverpool are allegedly aiming to sign Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, who has drawn interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea of late, this month. Hato, 18, has grown by leaps and bounds since making his debut for Ajax in January 2023.

Loris Karius has signed for Schalke until the end of the season, but the goalkeeper's wife, Diletta Leotta, will not be joining him in Germany.

Loris Karius had been without a club for six months, leaving Newcastle United in the summer. The German goalkeeper was a backup option at St James’ Park, rarely used after leaving Liverpool.

Chelsea continue to be linked with all manner of moves too. Manchester United ’s Alejandro Garnacho has been tipped as a Blues target and fresh reports claim the Blues have now made contact with the Premier League rivals, while United are said to be keen on Christopher Nkunku.

Leotta, who presents Serie A broadcasts on DAZN, is said to have struggled to understand the move at first but is now 'fully behind it', Karius says.
