Jurgen Klopp has offered a hint over the future of the player he made the biggest signing in his managerial history. The Liverpool boss believes Naby Keita has a “bright future”, after finally appearing to resolve the injury issues which have blighted his time at Anfield.
When the midfielder agreed to sign for the Reds back in 2017, the fee of £52m was the all time Liverpool club record at the time, and the most Klopp had paid for a player at that point. But now almost four years later, there have still been NO signs of a new contract for the Guinea international, even though his current deal only runs until the summer of 2023.
That means he is free to speak to any overseas club in just EIGHT months time. And if no agreement is reached, then it suggests Liverpool will look to cash in on the player this summer. Keita has only just turned 27, and has finally shown glimpses of the form which prompted Liverpool to make him the most expensive player in their history at that time in 2017.
