It’s not too unfair to say Naby Keita hasn’t had the impact at Liverpool that many hoped for. Jurgen Klopp hoped he’d found a solution for the future of the club’s midfield, but instead Keita was more of a bit-part player.
With a contract expiring at the end of June, Keita’s time at Liverpool is coming to an end. It’s unlikely there’ll be a late change of heart and a renewal offered so it’s now a case of finding a new home.
Reading between the lines from Mundo, this seems entirely based on the prospect of him being free in the summer. It’s accepted he hasn’t shown a high enough level at Liverpool, but that free-transfer temptation is still there.
Therefore Barcelona interest seems hugely fortunate for Keita, and it’s stated there’s also likely to be approaches from Germany.
