Naby Keita is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the current season, with the club having no intention to extend his contract further.
The midfielder has failed to get a foothold in the starting line-up, with injuries preventing him from making the starting eleven consistently. And now, he could be moved on with no plans for him to stay beyond the current year.
Naby Keita to leave Liverpool at the end of 22/23
The Guinean made the move to Merseyside from RB Leipzig in 2018 in a deal worth €60 million. But, while he has provided a number of solid performances, he has been very inconsistent and hasn’t quite been able to live up to expectations.
The soon-to-be 28-year-old has interest from Inter Milan, who could sign him as a free agent when he leaves. This season, he has only played 442 minutes across all competitions, and is quite far down in the pecking order.
Stefan Bajcetic and Harvey Elliott have been given the nod ahead of the former Guinea international in central midfield by Jurgen Klopp. As a result, Naby Keita no longer seems to be a part of the sporting project for Klopp any further.
Decisions will also be made about the futures of James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the summer. The midfield is the area that requires the most improvement right now for the club, and Matheus Nunes is one of the players that have been identified to make the move to Anfield.
