DBasia.news – Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet, two Liverpool goalkeepers, are anxious as the arrival of 75 million euro goalkeeper from AS Roma, Alisson Becker. They are thinking about two things: stay or leave.
They probably know there will be only one goalkeeper to fill the second position or Alisson’s backup. The competition has begun since the pre-season ahead of the 2018/2019 season.
When Mignolet and Alisson are still on holiday after playing in the 2018 World Cup, Karius played in Liverpool’s pre-season tour. The Germany 25-year-old goalkeeper admitted explicitly that he thinks about his future in Liverpool since Alisson’s arrival.
“Of course, that’s not ideal for me, but at the moment I cannot say much more about that. I do not know at the moment. I cannot say what I’m doing right now, there’s still some time left,” Karius said reported by Dailymail.
Karius might leave with loan status, considering his age and development. On the other hand, Mignolet might also leave with permanent status. Barcelona is watching him as the successor alternative of Jasper Cillessen.
Talking about Karius, the supporter won’t forget his two big blunders during the final round of Champions League versus Real Madrid. Since that time, Karius performance has been evaluated. Alisson’s arrival also indicated that Liverpool wasn’t so sure about Karius and Mignolet’s capabilities.
