Lloris Karius’ Newcastle United situation becomes unworkable as partner details reasons for leaving
Newcastle United stopper Loris Karius will leave at the end of his current deal
Newcastle United goalkeeper Lloris Karius will leave the club at the end of the season to pursue a career in Italy.
The former German Under-21 international and ex-Liverpool shot-stopper has been flying back and forwards to Italy for family reasons. But the situation is now unworkable for Karius and his partner Diletta Leotta.
Karius is eager to be closer to his daughter and is expected to leave Newcastle at the end of his contract with Eddie Howe’s full understanding. TV presenter Leotta said to Tuttosport: “I live in Milan, so let’s say being close to Milan would be ideal for us. I always tell him, players who come to Serie A then fall in love with Italy and often stay there forever. I think that could happen to him too.

“[He should join] Monza or any other team in Italy. I would be happy if he came to Italy to play near his family.
“Newcastle is very inconvenient because there are no direct flights. Neither about Paris nor about Amsterdam.”
Karius has played just two matches at competitive level for Newcastle, including last season’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester United which ended in a 2-0 defeat. He also played in the 4-1 loss against Arsenal in the Premier League earlier this season at the Emirates Stadium.
