Mercato: Two English clubs vying for Joël Matip!

Having played 201 games and scored 11 goals in eight seasons, Joel Matip will officially leave Liverpool at the end of his contract. The English club announced his departure in a statement published on social networks on Friday.

Following the announcement, a number of clubs came forward to contact the former Indomitable Lion’s agents. Two English clubs are currently in the running to recruit the Cameroonian centre-back. According to Lattaquant.com, Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace have both made contact with him. Both clubs see the 32-year-old as a valuable addition given his experience. For the moment, the player is in the recovery phase after a long period of injury.

Valued at €8 million on Transfermarkt, the former Schalke 04 player will soon choose his new club. Joël Matip earns an annual salary of €5,920,827 (FCFA 3,848,537,550) at Liverpool.

It is clear that the central defender, despite his time away from the pitch through injury, continues to enjoy a good reputation in England.
