Bayern Munich Eye Loris Karius

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are active in the transfer market, looking to strengthen their goalkeeping rotation with an experienced name. According to an exclusive report by Sky Sport Germany, the Bavarian club has placed Loris Karius, who guards the goal for Schalke 04 in the 2. Bundesliga, on its radar.

The 33-year-old German goalkeeper, who has drawn attention with strong recent performances, has moved up the list of transfer candidates identified by Bayern's management and coaching staff.

Karius became a target for fans during his loan spell at Beşiktaş, due to costly goals he conceded in the Süper Lig and his unsure presence on the pitch. The goalkeeper filed a complaint with FIFA against the club over owed payments and then unilaterally terminated his contract. His time in Turkey is remembered as a major crisis.

After a difficult period following Beşiktaş, Karius regained stability at Schalke 04. He was reported to fit the profile Bayern Munich is seeking, a reliable and experienced backup goalkeeper. The key factor in any transfer of the goalkeeper, who is under contract with Schalke until 2028, will be the club's position in the league.
