Fabrizio Romano has provided another update on Naby Keita’s situation at Liverpool following speculation about transfer interest from Borussia Dortmund.
Writing in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside, Romano has confirmed that Dortmund are one of several clubs interested in Keita should he become a free agent at the end of the season.
The Guinea international has been the subject of much speculation recently as he draws ever closer to the end of his contract with Liverpool, and it looks like he could be in Dortmund’s sights for next season as they face problems with star midfielder Jude Bellingham. .
Bellingham is one of the most exciting young talents in world football at the moment, and Romano admitted earlier in the summer that Liverpool had shown an interest in him, although he stated that a move in 2023 seemed more likely.
It’s not entirely clear if Keita is being seen as a direct replacement for Bellingham, but Romano has confirmed that Dortmund are together with other clubs to monitor the 27-year-old’s situation.
“Borussia Dortmund are among 3-4 clubs in Europe interested in Naby Keita in case he becomes a free agent,” explained Romano.
“The situation is still open with Liverpool, Naby wants guarantees to sign a new agreement at Anfield, so it will be decided in the coming months.”

Keita previously shone in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, so a return to Germany could be ideal to get his career back on track after a somewhat disappointing few years in the Premier League.
Injuries have not helped Keita in his time at Liverpool, but it is also the case that he has not made the most of the time he has had on the pitch.
Of course, he will point to his haul of trophies since moving to Merseyside and say he has been a success, but many LFC fans will be disappointed that he has never been seen as such an exciting talent as he appeared to be in his Leipzig days. .
