Revamping Liverpool’s Squad: Urgent Measures to Remove Players Like High-Earning £100k-a-week Star at Anfield

by ·

In a recent interview with Redmen TV presenter Paul Machin, the topic of Joël Matip’s future at Liverpool came under scrutiny. Machin suggests that it may be time for the central defender to seek new opportunities elsewhere due to his age and recurring injury concerns.

Reports from Forza Roma indicate that Jürgen Klopp has given his approval for Matip’s potential departure from Liverpool during the upcoming summer transfer window. AS Roma, led by manager Jose Mourinho, has emerged as a potential suitor for the 31-year-old defender.

Throughout the current season, Matip’s appearances in the Premier League were limited to just 14 games, as reported by Transfermarkt. Nonetheless, Matip’s overall tenure at Liverpool has been marked by success, with his contributions playing a vital role in the club’s achievements, including winning the Champions League and Premier League titles since his arrival from Schalke in 2016.

Machin echoes his sentiments regarding Matip’s future and also suggests that goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher should consider moving on from Liverpool. Machin emphasizes the need for Liverpool to revitalize their defense and phase out players above the age of 30 with injury concerns. When comparing Matip to Joe Gomez, Machin believes Gomez’s younger age and homegrown status give him an edge.

Considering Matip’s impact and value for Liverpool, it is undeniable that he has been an exceptional acquisition. Arriving on a free transfer from Schalke, Matip’s contributions have played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s trophy triumphs. Despite his age and injury setbacks, Matip’s presence has been invaluable to the team.

However, with the presence of Virgil van Dijk and the addition of the young and promising Ibrahima Konaté, coupled with Matip’s contract expiring next year, it may be an opportune time for Liverpool to consider selling him. The potential departure of Matip would allow the club to reassess and restructure their defensive options.

Regardless of what the future holds, Joël Matip can reflect on his time at Liverpool with immense pride, knowing that he has achieved remarkable success as a key player for the club.
