The Liverpool star could leave this summer as he enters the final year of his contract
Liverpool defender Joel Matip could leave the club this summer as he enters the final year of his contract.
When Liverpool signed French defender Ibrahima Konaté, Matip went from a guaranteed starter to a potential player for the team. This season, Matip has started just six Premier League games, with Konate becoming a regular starter for the Liverpool side.
At 31, Matip may only have one long-term contract left in his career, leaving him to decide whether to stay at Liverpool or look for a new challenge.
According to BUT, there are rumors at Liverpool that Matip could leave in the summer transfer window as he enters the final year of his contract. Joe Gomez has recently signed a new contract with Liverpool and is a homegrown option, so Matip could be the player they sacrifice in the summer transfer window.
Konate and Virgil van Dijk are likely to be the starting defensive duo next season, so Matip could try to force a move himself if he doesn’t feel comfortable playing a selection role for Jürgen Klopp’s side.

Good feelings in Liverpool camp as it is confirmed that new player added to list
Liverpool’s full squad list for the Premier League has now been confirmed.
Liverpool are allowed to name a squad of up to 25 senior players for the whole of the Premier League season. However, Liverpool have named just 24, which is one more than the initial 23 named players at the start of the campaign for the season.
This year January signing Cody Gakpo has been included to the squad list for the second half of the league season.
The Netherlands international has played two matches in the top flight so far.
when we speak of homegrown players, the clubs can name up to eight in their senior squad. Liverpool have sdded just seven in their list, while the remaining places in the quota were completed by players who qualified as homegrown. The other 17 players counted as non-home grown.
Signing of Gakpo means that Liverpool cannot enrol any more non-home-grown players, above the age of 21, this season without excluding a former registered member of the squad.
This is the full Liverpool squad registered for the Premier League season, with a some notable Under-21 players. You can view the full list for every top flight team here.
