Joel Matip is set to bring down the curtain on his professional football career that has spanned 15 years, Afrosport reports.
The Cameroonian’s professional football journey began in 2009 with German side Schalke 04, and was among the team that won the DFB-Pokal and DFL Super Cup in 2011 as well as reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The 33-year-old made 258 appearances for Schalke, scoring 23 goals before joining Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer of 2016.
It turned out to be a trophy-laden stint at Anfield as he won the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, Community shield and two EFL cups.
Matip departed Liverpool this summer after eight years.
Though born in Germany, he opted to represent Cameron and earned 27 caps between 2010 and 2015, scoring once. He featured at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations as well as the the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup.
