Liverpool loanee, Loris Karius has decided to cut short his loan spell after terminating his contract at Besiktas due to a wage row at the club.
The goalkeeper had already had a first season and was enjoying the second spell of his loan idea in Istanbul having made over 30 appearances before the season was stopped because of coronavirus.
The 26-year-old took to Instagram on Monday to announce his decision to announce his intentions to terminate the deal.
“It’s a shame it comes to an end like this but you should know that I have tried everything to solve this situation without any problems,” Karius said.
“I was very patient for months telling the board over and over again. Same things happened already last year. Unfortunately they haven’t tried to solve this situational problem and even refused my suggestion to help by taking a pay cut.
“It’s important to me that you know I really enjoyed playing for this club a lot. Besiktas can be proud having such passionate fans behind them always giving amazing support. You always supported me in good and bad times and I will always remember you in the best way!
“Also I want to say thank you to all my team-mates, coaching staff including all people working for the club. You welcomed me with arms wide open from day one. Thank you so much!”
Karius had previously filed a complaint to FIFA over an unpaid wages for a second time, although a deal between the two parties was reportedly close to being agreed without FIFA’s intervention.
The termination means that Karius who last played for Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final is set to return to his parent club, with a decision on future to be made later.
