Liverpool will find out defender’s future in the next seven days

Schalke are expected to reveal the future of Joel Matip in the next week, according to reports.

The centre-back is set to become a free agent over the summer with his contract expiring at the Bundesliga club in the next few months, and with Liverpool interested in landing him on a free, Schalke are expected to announce his future in the next seven days.

The Cameroonian has been at Schalke since he was just nine, but with his contract expiring at the end of the season, there is a question mark over his future, with Jurgen Klopp monitoring his situation.

Klopp Set to be Busy

Liverpool are expected to be very active in the summer transfer window, with Klopp set to stamp his mark on the squad he inherited from Brendan Rodgers, and new defenders are high on his wishlist.

The current likes of Mamadou Sakho, Dejan Lovren, Kolo Toure and Martin Skrtel have all struggled to impress the German, and a new centre-back is believed to be a priority for him during the summer break.

Matip is strongly linked with a move to Anfield, and with his contract expiring in June, it will cost Liverpool nothing to sign him.

According to reports in Germany, Schalke will announce Matip’s plans in the next week, with the 24-year-old still undecided on what’s best for him.

The defender has made 240 appearances for Schalke during his long-term association with the club.
