Naby Keita is one of several Liverpool players whose contract will expire this summer and it looks increasingly likely that our number 8 will leave the club on a free transfer.
Writing for CaughtOffside, German soccer pundit Christian Falk said: “I think Naby Keïta is more likely to leave Liverpool.” [rather than sign a new contract]. is in the same agency [ROOF] as Sadio Mané and the agency have already said, like Mané, that he will not sign a new contract.
“He is a free agent in the summer and it should be remembered that RB Leipzig knocked on the midfielder’s door in January but Klopp said no.

“I think there are good chances that Leipzig will sign the player. Keïta plays for Liverpool but he could get a good place in the Leipzig team.
“It looks like a business model for Leipzig to sell their players to English clubs in big deals before bringing them back on the cheap. We have seen it with Timo Werner, who went to Chelsea for 53 million euros; he got it back two years later for 20 million euros. They sold Keïta to Liverpool for €60m and now they can get him as a free agent. It would be a good deal for Leipzig and Keïta can see that there are playing opportunities for him in Germany.”
It looks like it may be a return to what the Guinean knows well, with his performances for Leipzig luring the Reds to sign the player in 2017 ahead of his move the following year.
It looks like the 28-year-old could have left for his old club in January as well, but we’ve made the decision to keep the midfielder at Anfield for the rest of this season.
With a team revamp expected this summer and especially in his position, it never seemed likely that we would renew the Premier League winner’s contract, but this seems to seal the belief that he will follow Sadio Mane as he leaves Merseyside for the Bundesliga. .
