Focus back Joel Matip has signed another contract with Liverpool. In spite of the fact that the club didn't uncover the length of Matip's new contract, anyway media reports said Matip would now be tied to Anfield until 2024.

Matip joined Liverpool on a free move from FC Schalke 04 in the mid-year of 2016 after graduating through the German club's childhood positions and showing up for them – 194 of which were in the Bundesliga. The 28-year-old has since proceeded to represent to the Reds 107 times, scoring on five events.

Matip as of now has two goals to his name so far this term – his best count during a battle for Liverpool – and is because of return to action for Sunday against Manchester United having missed the conflicts with FC Salzburg and Leicester City because of a minor knock. "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," Matip said on the club's official site.

"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," he included.

Matip missed the past two games of Liverpool because of injury, however, he is required to return to action for Sunday against Manchester United.
