He has certainly earned the new contract, well done Joel.

Well deserved big Joe, a Champions League and Super Cup winner.

Liverpool defender Joel Matip has signed a new long-term deal which will keep him at the club until summer 2024.

The 28-year-old Cameroon international has scored two goals in nine appearances in all competitions for the Reds this season.

Matip joined Liverpool from Schalke in 2016 and helped Jurgen Klopp's side to the 2018-19 Champions League title.

"It's a great feeling to be a longer part of the club. It's really just a great feeling," he said.

"From outside, you know Liverpool is such a big club - but when you are inside, then you really get a feeling for how big the club is in all the countries - the supporters are everywhere. It's a massive and big club that I think every player would want to play for.

"We have a young and talented team and I think every one of us is hungry. Now we've seen how it is to win something and we want to have that feeling again."

Matip missed Liverpool's last two games before the international break through injury but is expected to return for Sunday's visit to Manchester United.

Great news!

He adds to the stable of on pitch leaders we have at the moment. verbally and physically imposing on the field this season

Well done Joel.

brilliant news!

and still only 28 years old. He will be like a new signing if he can dislodge the VVD and Lovren partnership.

Huzzah. Really seems to have come on in the last year or so. What a set of centre halves we possess.

Tied up for his best years, wonderful news. Really cannot be overstated how wonderful our situation at CB is looking right now.

Mixed emotions really. He is a quality centre back, a really good partner for the man mountain and exceptional at bringing the ball out. The only nagging doubt is his inability to stay fit.

Great news to go into a big few weeks with. Joel has been magnificent for a while now without getting the plaudits VVD does.

Our player of the season to date (and the tail end of last season) along with Mane for me. Well deserved.

Yep, definitely the strongest pool we've had in a long time. And great to see Matip finally getting credit he deserves, he's been immense.

Delighted with this news. Some of us were asking questions about his contract that had 2 years left so its nice to get it sorted.

Proper old school player, keeps his head down and plays his part.

Played for his contract, now he’ll slip back into Joe Cole mode and milk us for years. Will we ever learn?

But really, one of our better bits of business recently in a pretty strong competition? Seems like a great, humble guy and it’s great how fearlessly he has taken on challenges for his spot and stepped up. What a great team we have these days.

Great news, and just reward for 8 months of consistent performances. He was probably 4th choice at the start of last season but has taken his opportunity when it came. Being only 28 means he still has years in front of him.

New contract for Joel

Joel Matip has today signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool Football Club.

The centre-back put pen to paper on the deal at Melwood on Friday afternoon, committing his future to the Reds.

Matip told Liverpoolfc.com moments after inking the terms: “It’s a great feeling to be a longer part of the club. It’s really just a great feeling.

“From outside, you know Liverpool is such a big club – but when you are inside, then you really get a feeling for how big the club is. In all the countries, the supporters are everywhere. It’s a massive and big club that I think every player would want to play for.

“We have a young and talented team and I think every one of us is hungry. Now we’ve seen how it is to win something and we want to have that feeling again.

“There are a lot of things still to achieve. You never know how it will end, you just have to work hard and do the best you can do. Then we will see.

“It is an honour to be a part of the club. It makes me happy that people think I’ve done a good job and they want to keep me.”

Mixed emotions for you only. Considering he's been fit for best of a year, he's absolutely quality

Made up for him and fully deserved. 1st choice alongside Virgil and has been for a good while now. One of my favourite players in the squad.

Ridiculous decision. Have to iron that kind of shit out if we want to win leagues. Be ruthless.

Yep. I have always liked him but that was an incredibly bad decision by him.
