African Star 'Close' To Liverpool Exit

African Star 'Close' To Liverpool Exit

Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita

With Sadio Mane having left the club during the off-season, reports claim that Liverpool are on the brink of losing yet another African star.

As the Reds appear to continue their descension from the summit of European football, many are suggesting that a squad overhaul is necessary for the team to be able to recapture their best form, with Naby Keita among those facing an uncertain future.

According to Sky Sports Germany, the Guinea midfielder is on the verge of leaving Merseyside at the end of the season as his contract with Liverpool expires in five months' time.

The 27-year-old will, however, not join Turkish giants Galatasaray, who had been linked with a move for the former RB Leipzig man but a move back to the Bundesliga is a prospect that is on the cards.

Keita was subject to an Anfield exit during the off-season, but Jurgen Klopp shut down any notion that a move could take place. Now the six-time European champions find themselves in a precarious position as far as their football is concerned and the central midfielder's future seems certainly in doubt.

Injuries and good performances from other midfielders have made it difficult for Keita to nail down a starting berth since making the move to Liverpool, but he has found himself a somewhat more consistent option for Klopp in recent matches, with the German manager struggling to curb the club's poor form.

Despite starting in their last four matches, he remains one of the players hotly tipped to be leaving the club at the end of the season.
