Report emerged last mont of Bayer Leverkusen interest in former Joel Matip, who departed Liverpool when his contract expired at the end of June.
More recently, Everton and Fulham have been linked with moves for the free agent, but the German media are having none of that.
Kicker report the German champions are still an option for the defender, and there’s an insistence he simply isn’t interested in the Premier League interest and therefore English clubs have no chance of signing him.
Neither of Everton or Fulham can offer Champions League football and that is another reason why Leverkusen are a leading candidate.
There’s the chance Matip doesn’t want to play for a rival of Liverpool, or perhaps he feels the Bundesliga would suit him better at this stage of his career.
Bayer Leverkusen moving for him depends on the future of Jonathan Tah, who has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich. His exit would make the signing of Matip a priority.
