Joel Matip’s New Contract At Liverpool Earns Him Approximately 84.232.818,13 CFA Per Week

News of Matip’s switch to Anfield was confirmed on Monday afternoon, with the giant centre-back moving to Liverpool at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old is one of the most highly-rated defenders in the Bundesliga, with many hailing Jurgen Klopp‘s decision to bring him to Merseyside as a masterstroke. 

While Matip’s summer contract expiration allowed Liverpool to sign the Cameroon international on a free transfer, he is still far from a cheap purchase.

According to German publication Bild, via ESPN, Matip will be paid a 2.527.363.458,89 million FCFA signing-on fee upon arrival, and will earn approximately 4.209.841.086,06 million FCFA a year in wages – just over 84.232.818,13  CFA per week.
