After eight years at Liverpool, Joel Matip has left the Reds this summer. Now free of any contract, the former Cameroonian international (27 caps) has the field free to sign with the club he wants. And that’s good, since a German club would be interested in his services. According to Sky Germanythe 32-year-old is reportedly being tracked by Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso’s team, the reigning Bundesliga champions, are reportedly keen to strengthen their rearguard with an experienced defender.
Matip’s arrival could also serve to fill the gap left by Jonathan Tah, who is being tracked by Bayern Munich. If he were to sign for Leverkusen, Matip would return to the German championship, which he knows very well, since he revealed himself during his time at Schalke 04. Between 2009 and 2016, he played 256 games with the Gelsenkirchen club, before going to Liverpool.
