Liverpool legend: This international star will be shrewd signing by Jurgen Klopp
JOEL MATIP is exactly the kind of signing Liverpool need to be making, claims club legend John Barnes.
John Barnes is delighted with the signing of Joel Matip
Matip will link up with the Reds in the summer on a free transfer, ending a 16-year association with German club Schalke.
Jurgen Klopp admitted he was delighted to have snapped up the centre-back who he knows well from his time with Borussia Dortmund.
“I know that Liverpool are not going to get the players Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich want.
"So the players they’ll get are the ones Klopp knows and are realistic and I trust Klopp to make the right decision.”
