In heartfelt social media posts, Liverpool expressed gratitude to both players for their contributions. Thiago, described as “a truly special player,” and Matip, who leaves after “an eight-season spell,” were both thanked for their service to the club.

Thiago’s Liverpool Legacy

Joining from Bayern Munich in 2020, Thiago quickly became known for his midfield prowess. Despite a tenure hampered by injuries, he made 98 appearances, netted six goals, and claimed an FA Cup victory in 2022. However, his involvement this season has been limited to a single substitute appearance.

Reflecting on his time at Anfield, Matip expressed his gratitude for the “wonderful years” and the warmth he and his family received from the club and its fans.
