He won everything at Anfield and Klopp wants him to stay in the team at all costs

During Liverpool's last golden age, we have witnessed how, under Jürgen Klopp, the team has won every possible trophy. From the Premier League and domestic cups, to the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. In that time, we have had great players in our team who have been instrumental in winning all those titles.

However, several of those players who were part of the team's success are no longer at the club and have gradually left Anfield. Players like Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi and James Milner are no longer at Liverpool, and although it is understood that generational change is indispensable, it is also true that veteran players are always fundamental in any team, especially when there are young players who have just joined the club and need a guide in the dressing room.

That is why, in addition to the signings he intends to carry out in the current transfer window, Jürgen Klopp also intends to renew the contracts of players who, in addition to contributing on the pitch, can be mentors for the new players who are arriving at Anfield.

Such is the case of Joel Matip, the 31-year-old central defender who has been present during our Liverpool's recent successes and has been the ideal complement to Virgil van Dijk in the defense of Jürgen Klopp's scheme. Matip is under contract with Liverpool until 2024, however Fabrizio Romano has made it known that the Anfield board is already in contact with the player to renew him for at least one more year.

Joel Matip's numbers at Anfield

Joel Matip arrived at Liverpool in 2016. He has become a key player for Klopp and has played a total of 187 games for the Reds, scored 11 goals and won 7 titles with Liverpool.
