The former Liverpool player is expected to vanish from Newcastle United.
Although Paul Dummett and Matt Ritchie’s futures at Newcastle United are still up in the air, it appears that one player’s fate has already been determined.
After beating Brentford on Sunday to guarantee a top seven position in the Premier League, Eddie Howe’s team boarded a plane for Melbourne to take part in “Global Football Week.”
Howe has selected a 29-man roster consisting of both veteran players and youth for this week’s matches against Tottenham Hotspur and the A-League All Stars. Harrison Ashby and Garang Kuol have returned from their respective loan stints to play.
Dummett and Ritchie, who are both out of contract at the end of next month, have travelled to Australia despite having uncertain futures. Howe hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility of giving the two long-serving players new contracts, but Loris Karius is a player who is expected to disappear.

In March, Karius stated, “I want to play more,” in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. I have decided to sign with an Italian team, and I want Claudio Marchisio’s agency to represent me.
Diletta, however, recently called Newcastle “very inconvenient.”
“Loris has people working for him by his side,” she remarked. I’m hoping he chooses what’s best for his career. Since I live in Milan, we should remark that anything comfortable and close to Milan would be perfect.
“Monza or any other Italian sports team. If he could play in Italy and be near his family, that would make me happy. Because there are no direct flights, Newcastle is quite inconvenient. Nothing concerning
