Liverpool midfielder wants to go!
According to a joint report by Bild Dortmund and team reporters Jörg Weiler and Reinhold Ihle, the Bundesliga club regards Liverpool midfielder Keita as a priority signing target.
In the early years, Klopp brought the double stars Keita and Thiago from the Bundesliga one after another, both of which have become key roles in Liverpool’s midfield, especially since the latter has become a key role loved by fans.
The 27-year-old Keita is in a bad situation at Anfield. The player was bought by Liverpool for 60 million euros in 2018. At that time, Klopp valued the Guinea international very much and has been building momentum for the transaction, saying that he is willing to spend 100 million euros buy him.
In the eyes of the Germans, Keita and Thiago can both become the best midfielders in the world, but their careers in the Red Army have gone in completely different directions.
The younger Keita is far below the latter’s height at Liverpool, and the Guinea international has not been able to play under Klopp because of injuries. In the past 3 years, the value has plunged to 25 million euros.
The Guinean, considered by Klopp to have world-class midfield potential, is once again at a fork in his career. He has only one year left on his contract with the team, and Liverpool want to renew him with a new contract.
The contract renewal negotiations between the two sides quickly collapsed. The players expressed their dissatisfaction to the club, and the team responded very strongly, not signing up the Guineans for the Champions League. Liverpool originally had insufficient midfielders, and now Keita is being treated coldly, which shows how tough the team’s attitude is.
The relationship between the two sides has deteriorated sharply. According to Romano’s disclosure on September 25, many teams are paying close attention to Keita’s situation. He hopes to understand his weight under Klopp before making a decision.
Knowing how important you are to the team is definitely not something that can be solved by chatting with Klopp and listening to a few good words. The club must show the sincerity of renewing the contract. The uniformed team assessed that Keita’s past performance was not worthy of a high-paying contract renewal, and the contradiction between the two sides also came from this.
Despite the poor performance at Anfield, the talent of the players is still recognized by the transfer market, especially the players who have this talent + the possibility of free transfer + conflict with the club are the focus of other teams.
Dortmund and team reporters broke the news that the Hornets have regarded the 27-year-old Guinea international, who played for Leipzig for two years, as a leaked target next summer. If Liverpool fail to convince Keita to renew the contract, they will lose 60 million euros directly, and they will not be able to recover a dime.
The fans’ attitude towards Keita naturally does not need to be repeated, and even scolded him for being a coward. Klopp valued him so much back then. The national team often played with injuries, resulting in no state at the club. Keita’s career fell, and the players themselves have a lot of responsibility.
