Liverpool are expected to offload at least one of their four senior centre-backs this summer with Joel Matip the likeliest to go, sources have told Football Insider. The Merseysiders are planning to let clubs know that the cult hero, who turns 32 in August, will be available for sale in the upcoming window. A bid of between £10-15million could be enough to convince Liverpool to cash in on Matip, who has a history of niggling injuries. former Cameroon international is out of contract in the summer of 2024 and the next window represents the last chance to secure a significant fee for him. Matip is no longer a first choice in Jurgen Klopp’s side after a fine 2021-22 campaign in which the club came so close to securing a remarkable quadruple.
But he has made Klopp’s starting XI for just nine league games this term among 18 appearances in total. Matip has won every major trophy on offer at Liverpool since joining the club on a free transfer from Schalke in the summer of 2016.
