Liverpool has now “bitten the bullet” over the £130k-a-week star at Anfield.

Liverpool were forced to limit their losses via a £130,000-a-week starlet

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ‘bit the bullet’ by allowing Naby Keita to leave Anfield as a free agent, RedmenTV presenter Ste Hoare has told GIVEMESPORT.

The central midfielder will leave Merseyside – along with James Milner, Roberto Firmino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – when his contract expires at the end of the month.

Liverpool Transfer News – Naby Keita

According to respected journalist Christian Falk, writing for CaughtOffside, Keita will not guarantee a return to RB Leipzig before the new season.

The Bild reporter points out that the Bundesliga outfit are no longer interested in the Guinea international after Klopp blocked a move during the January transfer window.

When Keita joined Leipzig five years ago, Liverpool gave up almost £53million, but they won’t get any of that money back when his contract expires.

Uncertainty over the 28-year-old’s future has seen several clubs turn around, with Turkish giant Galatasaray linked with a move, while it has also sparked interest from Barcelona, ​​Crystal Palace and Inter Milan.

Daily Express reporter Ryan Taylor recently told GIVEMESPORT that Keita has proven to be “one of the worst signings of the Klopp era”.
What did Ste Hoare say about Keita?

Hoare believes Liverpool have chosen not to renew Keita’s contract because his injury problems have made him unreliable.

The RedmenTV presenter thinks that the Reds risked not finding a buyer if they put new conditions on the table.

Hoare told GIVEMESPORT: “The general feeling you get with Keita is that it’s almost like cutting losses. Liverpool can’t trust him to be fit, and they will swallow the pain if they don’t get a transfer fee.

“The rationale would have been to get a new contract signed and then sell him.

But chances are if you give him a new contract then he’s out for six months and nobody wants to buy him.

Then you have to do it.” you’re stuck with a player you can’t get rid of. “I think Liverpool have finally bitten the bullet in that regard.

It’s not ideal, but unfortunately the overall experience with Naby Keita was a bit disappointing. It’s just a shame he couldn’t stay fit.”

Are Liverpool making the right decision to let Keita go?
Transfermarkt data shows Keita has missed more than 80 games since his costly move to Liverpool due to various issues.

It’s a hugely worrying figure and given he was on a £130,000-a-week contract, it made no business sense to come up with another lucrative offer.

Due to injuries, Keita couldn’t play a significant role in the 2022/23 season and played only 486 minutes.

WhoScored ranked him as Liverpool’s third-worst player in the Premier League, giving him an average match rating of 6.14.

Although Keita has won numerous trophies during his time with the Reds – including the Premier League title, Champions League and Club World Cup – now is a good time to part ways.
