Liverpool midfielder ‘Naby Keita’,who is leaving the club, is reportedly set to have a medical at Werder Bremen next week as he nears a return to the Bundesliga after five injury-plagued seasons in the Premier League.

Werder Bremen is a significant step down from some of the other teams Naby Keita has been associated with recently, with all due respect.

However, it’s possible that clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Inter Milan, who reportedly all expressed interest in the Guinean international at some point or another, came to the conclusion that the risk was not worth taking. And really, who can blame them?

After all, Keita only started three Premier League games last season and has missed over 80 games due to various injuries since moving to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in a £52 million deal in 2018.

Perhaps this is a case of beggars not being given much of a “choice” since Sky Germany and BILD are reporting that Keita is now imminently moving to Werder Bremen. .

Naby Keita is switching to the Bundesliga from Liverpool.

Last season, Werder finished 13th in the Bundesliga standings, avoiding relegation in their first season back in the top division. Ole Werner’s team may make up for their lack of glitz by providing Keita with the kind of consistent first-team football that would likely be out of his reach at a more illustrious club.

Negotiations to bring the 28-year-old midfielder to Bremen are already in progress. Before signing a contract at the Weser Stadion through the summer of 2026, Keita may even have a medical as soon as next week.

While Keita’s contract expires at the end of the month, he is one of many senior players who will be leaving the team. In addition to Roberto Firmino and James Milner leaving, Arthur Melo is getting ready to return to Juventus.

The fact that we are actually saying goodbye to four Liverpool legends, in my opinion, makes it extremely emotional, Klopp said in May.

“People probably also think of Naby’s recent injuries when they think of him. But when you reflect on significant contests, you’ll see how frequently he participated in and gave outstanding performances in these contests for us. ”.

Transfer rumors from Liverpool as Reds’submit’ $64 million proposal against new challenger in Nicol Barella’s race

Liverpool transfer news: The Reds have made a sizable offer for a player they’ve wanted for a while, and the frequently linked Nicolo Barella is now desired by other teams as well.

The first signing Liverpool made this summer has already been finalized, but the next few months are expected to be extremely busy.

Just over a week after the Reds’ campaign came to an end, they welcomed their first new player into the fold when the club officially announced Alexis Mac Allister’s signing.

The Argentine’s fee has not been disclosed by either party, but Fabrizio Romano of some reports claims it could be as little as $44 million (£35 million/€41 million), which would make it the summer’s best deal.

However, with new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke having a lot of work to do after what has been a disappointing season on all fronts, Liverpool will need more players to join Mac Allister in making the move to Anfield.

With so many midfielders currently being linked to Liverpool, he has no shortage of names to choose from. Fans will recognize one of those right away, and another will be present for Saturday’s Champions League final.

The Real Madrid player Aurélien Tchouaméni.

According to reports in Spain, Liverpool has had a $64 million (£52 million/€60 million) offer for Aurélien Tchouaméni rejected.

The French international was obviously passed over by the Reds last summer because Tchouaméni opted to transfer from Monaco to Real Madrid. His first season, however, hasn’t quite gone as planned; he’s been in and out of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which has sparked rumors that he might be moving on once more.

In an effort to complement Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival, Liverpool reportedly submitted its bid, according to Defensa Central. However, Real Madrid is adamant that Tchouaméni is not for sale and views him as “untouchable.”.

Even though Tchouaméni’s first season at the Bernabéu did not go exactly as he had hoped, Liverpool . com notes that another attempt to sign him always seemed unlikely. If the Reds actually made a bid, it was probably done to see if Real Madrid was interested in selling, so it’s more likely that they were just testing the waters.

Although the Spanish giant isn’t known for having patience, Tchouaméni has plenty of time on his side and, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modri both nearing the end of their respective careers, even if he’s having trouble making an impact right now, the 23-year-old will undoubtedly play a role in the future.

Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan).

According to reports, Newcastle and Liverpool will compete to sign Nicol Barella this summer.

Given that Liverpool is looking for new midfielders and that Barella recently made an impression with Inter Milan and the Italian national team, he is expected to be a hot commodity. He might be the perfect addition to Jürgen Klopp’s squad.

However, the 26-year-old’s signing by the Reds would face competition. Newcastle is interested in signing Barella as well, according to Sportmediaset via FCInternews.com, and Inter may be considering selling him to help with their financial issues.

Barella would undoubtedly be a welcome addition for Liverpool, but if Inter finds itself in a situation where it must sell, that will only increase competition, and if there is one team you don’t want to be in a bidding war with, it’s Newcastle.

The Magpies now have access to practically unlimited funds, not to mention Champions League football to help them entice some bigger signings. Liverpool may have to rely on Klopp and the club’s allure to entice Barella to Merseyside.
