Overview
- Loris Karius says he discovered Liverpool were signing Alisson in 2018 by reading news coverage rather than being informed by the club.
- He recalls being told the club could not notify every player about signings in their position when he asked why he had not been briefed.
- Liverpool signed Alisson from Roma for around £65–67 million that summer after Karius’s Champions League final errors, which were later linked to a concussion.
- Karius did not play for Liverpool again, went on loans to Besiktas and Union Berlin, left in 2022, and spent about seven months effectively out of the game before a brief spell with Newcastle.
- Now at Schalke after signing last January, he has started all 18 league matches this season, conceded 10 goals, and helped the team reach the top of the 2. Bundesliga.
