Naby Keita's Future At Liverpool Thrown Into Doubt

Liverpool will have to make the hard choice about Naby Keita this summer.

Former Red, John Barnes believes Keita’s future at Anfield should be reconsidered beyond this season.

The Guinean has mostly been underwhelming since his £70m switch from RB Leipzig in 2018. Of course, injuries played a major part in disrupting his form but he has failed to uphold expectations. He was once again poor for Liverpool in the 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid.

“I don’t know what his future holds at Liverpool because I’m not privy to discussions and how they feel about certain a player, but I do think that it’s fair to say that he’s been inconsistent,” Barnes told Goal.

“I know he’s a good player but things haven’t really worked out. It’s important to say that this happens a lot for lots of different players – you can look at [Xherdan] Shaqiri, you can look at [Divock] Origi, you can look at a lot of players who’s been in the same situation.

“This is just the nature of modern football. Whereby players may cost a lot of money and have big reputations but yet, things don’t work out.

“So yes, it hasn’t worked out for him and it’ll be interesting to see what Liverpool decides to do.”
