Joel Matip will leave Liverpool at the end of his contract this summer, after eight years with the club. He has made over 200 appearances during his time in Merseyside, scoring 11 goals and receiving seven recognitions, including the glory of the Champions League and the Premier League.

Joel Matip, former Schalke player, is leaving the 'Reds', his contract was not extended. Matip had torn his cruciate ligament last December and has not been on the pitch since then. His future is currently unclear.

Joel Matip, who will complete his recovery journey in the summer after the cruciate rupture, has been closely followed by Roma and Lazio in recent weeks, but in this case there are several Italian clubs that could seize the opportunity at zero cost to add international experience and quality to their defensive lines.
