It looks like Joel Matip will leave Liverpool as a free agent and Bayer could sign this player, at least they really hope so. I think that for Liverpool this is not the best option to let go the player as a free agent, but apparently they will have to do it. He was a central defender for Liverpool for eight seasons, and if they knew that they would not renew his contract, they could at least sell him, I think there would be interest in him on the transfer market. And for Bayer’s defense this could be a good reinforcement, in the upcoming season it looks like their confrontation with Bayern will not be very easy.
That's because Liverpool did not extend Matip's contract so inevitably he had to be released on a free transfer because to force selling was actually difficult for Liverpool so there was no way when the contract ended he would leave.
He has been at Liverpool long enough because it seems like he is just like Klopp where he came when Klopp started his career with Liverpool and left when Klopp ended his tenure at Liverpool this season.
Apart from his age which is more than 32 years old, Matip is actually quite good at defending especially when 1 on 1 or aerial duels but it is indeed a wise choice for now with his age he goes to a lighter competition. and if Bayern is the goal it is also not bad although it will still be inconvenient for the core line-up competition because at this time it looks like Kompany will continue to look for defensive players especially Jonathan Tah is also still a rumor for Bayern until now.
