Former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is considered one of the club’s biggest disappointments in recent times.
He arrived at Anfield with high expectations, but his tenure was marred by setbacks and underwhelming performances. Injuries plagued his time at the club, and when he was fit, he struggled to make an impact, leading to his departure last year. In the past year, he made only five appearances for Werder Bremen, who are now looking to offload him.
As reported by Sport Bild, Bremen is actively seeking to sell Keita to clubs in China in order to clear him from their roster entirely. The club has recognized that his time with them has not been successful and is eager to sever ties.
At 29, Keita has no future at Bremen and is not being considered for this season. He has fallen far from his peak at RB Leipzig, where he was regarded as one of the top players in the league, which initially drew Liverpool’s interest.
Liverpool fans were taken aback by Keita’s underwhelming performances during his stint with the team. His transfer to Liverpool, despite being significant, turned out to be a failure.
As Bremen looks to send him to China, it seems his top-level career in Europe may be at an end. It remains uncertain what Keita desires at this stage of his career and whether he would consider a move to China. Leaving European football could be a point of no return for him; rather than heading to Asia, he might be better off pursuing opportunities at a European club where he can regain attention with improved performances.
