Two Liverpool players will be playing their final matches for the club after the encounter between Liverpool and Manchester United (which will take place after the game).

The Daily Mail has indicated that there is growing speculation regarding Matip’s future, with the 32-year-old’s contract expiring in June and a season-ending ACL injury sidelining him.

While no definitive decision has been reached regarding his future, Jurgen Klopp has expressed his desire to persuade the club’s decision-makers to extend Matip’s contract.

However, given the emergence of young talent like Jarell Quansah this season, Matip’s departure from Liverpool seems increasingly plausible.

Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara’s future at Liverpool has also come under scrutiny following another injury setback.

After enduring a 10-month absence due to hip and hamstring issues, Thiago made his return in Liverpool’s recent 3-1 defeat against Arsenal.

However, the 32-year-old midfielder suffered another injury setback during his brief appearance, prompting concerns about his ability to feature for Liverpool again.

With Thiago’s contract set to expire at the end of the season and his recurring injury woes, it appears increasingly unlikely that Liverpool will offer him a new deal.

The potential departures of both Matip and Thiago underscore the challenges faced by Liverpool as they navigate squad management and contract negotiations.

While Matip’s injury and contractual situation cast doubt on his future, Thiago’s recurring fitness concerns raise questions about his long-term viability at the club.

As Liverpool assess their options and plan for the future, decisions regarding the retention of experienced players like Matip and Thiago will undoubtedly shape the club’s trajectory in the seasons to come.
