Joel Matip takes first steps into post-Liverpool career as Diogo Jota joins former teammate

Klopp hailed Matip upon departure as 'a wonderful professional, a wonderful footballer and a wonderful human being.'

Matip, along with former teammates, completed his UEFA B Licence to potentially venture into coaching, a step below the UEFA A Licence.

Thiago Alcantara is also leaving Liverpool alongside players such as Matip, with the club appointing Arne Slot as Klopp's replacement.

Goalkeeper Adrian has been offered a contract extension, while Alisson Becker's understudy, Caoimhin Kelleher, expressed his ambition to become a No. 1 goalkeeper.
