Liverpool have announced that 10 players have left the club including cult heroes Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara.

The pair’s exits were confirmed last month, with their contracts due to expire. Both Matip and Thiago were given the opportunity to bid emotional farewells to the club after the final day win against Wolves – which was also Jurgen Klopp’s final game in charge.

The departures do not end there. The Reds have confirmed that a clutch of academy starlets will be leaving. Adam Lewis and Melkamu Frauendorf are both leaving, having been afforded first-team debuts under Klopp.

Mateusz Musialowski, who appeared against Sparta Prague earlier this season, will also be bidding farewell. Nathan Giblin, Francis Gyimah, Luke Hewitson, Niall Osborne and Cody Pennington are all also leaving Anfield.

A club statement read: “Everyone at Liverpool FC thanks Joel, Thiago, Adam, Melkamu, Mateusz, Nathan, Francis, Luke, Niall and Cody for all their contributions and wishes them each the very best for the future.”

While there are plenty of departures, the Reds are also in the process of tying down stars to new deals. Spanish stopper Adrian has been offered fresh terms to stay with the club.

Academy goalkeepers Jacob Poytress and Reece Trueman are also in talks regarding extended stays at Anfield. Work will now begin on Liverpool’s summer transfer window.
