Barcelona are monitoring Naby Keita’s contract situation as they prepare to land several free agents next summer, according to Catalan daily SPORT .
The Liverpool midfielder has not featured since the 3-1 Community Shield victory over Manchester City in August as a result of several injury setbacks and a short period of illness. His omission from the squad for the Champions League group stages suggests there is still some way to go before a return to play.
And with his current contract at the Reds ending next summer, speculation is growing over whether the 27-year-old will be on Merseyside for much longer. Reports suggest multiple clubs are monitoring the situation at Anfield, with neither Liverpool nor Keita showing any urgency in extending the midfielder’s current deal and time swiftly running out.
