Liverpool Transfer News: Number of Clubs chasing soon to be free agent Naby Keita

In the hopes that the Leipzig midfielder would provide a straight replacement for Philippe Coutinho, Klopp forked out the cash for him. But he hasn’t lived up to the hype yet.

During the course of his four seasons on Merseyside, the 25-year-old has only earned a small number of Premier League starts due to a run of injuries and inconsistent play. This season he has played only just 245 minutes of Premier League football.

Liverpool reportedly are dispirited with his showing and his time at Anfield could come to an end. The 27-year-old also reportedly has acknowledged the situation and there is a big chance of him looking for a fresh start.

Clubs around the globe have been alerted by the situation and if some of the reports are to be believed, some of the top European clubs are keeping their tabs on Keita.

Premier League rival Tottenham are reportedly one of the sides that are showing interest in him. Antonio Conte is looking to continue the squad overhaul next summer as well and Keita reportedly remains a target for him, due to his contract’s cost-effective manner.

Moving to Tottenham could represent a good opportunity for Keita to revive his career. If he remains fit, he could be the driving force of Conte’s midfield alongside Hojberg and Bentacur although rumors are still in the early stages.

A return to Bundesliga is also rumored to be on the wishlist of the Guinean midfielder. Keita played his best football in the Bundesliga and he could seek a move to his former neighborhood to revive his drowning career.

Leipzig are reportedly interested in considering the current contract turmoil situation while Borussia Dortmund also reportedly are aware of the condition and keeping its tabs open. Ligue 1 sides Lyon and Monaco are also believed to have expressed an interest.

With all such attractions, there could be a big tug of war for his signature in summer. The Liverpool midfielder however is reportedly evaluating all his options and is yet to make a decision about his future due to concerns about his playing time.

Keita reportedly wants assurances of regular first-team football wherever he goes. So, it remains to be seen, which club actually tempts him with a proposal.
