At this very moment, Liverpool’s most powerful rival is in the final phases of the process of completing the acquisition of Joel Matip.

Matip joined Liverpool in 2016 and was a key part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, helping the team win numerous trophies. During his time at Anfield, he made 201 appearances, scored 11 goals, and provided six assists. Despite being a fan favorite, his career at Liverpool was hampered by injuries, preventing him from fully reaching his potential.

Now, at 32, Matip is exploring his next career move. According to sources, Everton, Fulham, and Bayer Leverkusen are all vying for his signature. Representatives of the player have already met with these clubs, providing them with all the necessary details about his current status.

Everton’s interest is particularly notable given Matip’s history with their local rivals.

It will be interesting to see if he chooses to stay on Merseyside or opts for a fresh start elsewhere.
