Liverpool have announced the retirement of former centre-back Joel Matip, who left Anfield this summer when his contract expired after eight injury-hit years.
Matip arrived on a free transfer in the summer of 2016 and went on to make 201 appearances for Liverpool, establishing himself as a popular part of Jurgen Klopp's squad.
The centre-back had been linked with a return to action with West Ham United, and HSV was also a potential destination, but he rejected their advances.
Matip was instrumental in Liverpool's successes, including their Champions League victory in 2019 and Premier League win in 2020, along with multiple other titles.
