Joel Matip, a revered former Cameroon international, showcased his talent in 201 appearances for Liverpool, leaving a lasting impact as a key figure in their Champions League and Premier League triumphs. However, as the season draws to a close, Liverpool must bid farewell to Matip and Thiago Alcantara, whose contracts have reached their conclusion.

Matip, known for his versatility as a ball-playing center back, left an indelible impression at Anfield after arriving on a free transfer from Schalke in 2016, marking one of Klopp’s early signings. Klopp himself has praised Matip’s pivotal role in Liverpool’s achievements, recognizing his underrated yet invaluable contributions.

Meanwhile, Thiago, a talented former Spanish midfielder, graced Liverpool for four memorable years, despite being hindered by injuries, displaying his skill on the field. Klopp commended Thiago’s technical abilities, describing him as a talent capable of excelling in any team worldwide.

As Liverpool bids adieu to these esteemed players, they join a group of other notable figures departing their respective Premier League clubs, including Manchester United’s Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial, as well as Chelsea’s Thiago Silva.
