The latest news and gossip in brief from Liverpool...
As well as Joel Matip, Liverpool have this morning announced Thiago Alcantara will be leaving the club at the end of his contract this summer too. The FA Cup winner with the Reds has been hit by injuries over the past two seasons, making just one appearance this term. However, he won admirers for his technical play across his four campaigns at Anfield.
'Technically, he is so, so good. A talent who could play in any team in the world and it was a privilege to have him with us.'I already knew a lot about him as a footballer before he got here – what he did at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, how could you not? – and I could not have been happier when he decided to take on a new challenge with us.'From that point on I got to see him up close and all I can say is 'Wow'.
