Naby Keita, the Liverpool midfielder who scored seven goals in 84 Premier League appearances for the club, is set to join Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga once his contract expires this summer.
Keita, 28 years old, made a significant move to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2018 for a club-record fee of £48 million. During his time with the Reds, he contributed 11 goals in 129 appearances. However, his playing time this season was limited to just eight league matches due to ongoing injury issues.
In May, Liverpool officially announced Keita’s departure. Throughout his five-year tenure in England, the Guinean midfielder achieved success by winning the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, and EFL Cup.
Clemens Fritz, head of scouting and professional football at Werder Bremen, expressed the club’s excitement about the potential signing of Keita on a free transfer. Fritz acknowledged Keita’s injury setbacks this season but emphasized their intention to help him regain his best form.

Naby Keita, the Liverpool midfldr, is heading to Werder Bremen? Wow, that’s a big move! He’s scored 7 goals in 84 Premier League apps. Impressive, innit?
Wait, Keita’s leaving Liverpool?! What a loss for the team. He had 11 goals in 129 apps for the Reds. Gonna miss his skills on the pitch, tbh.
Keita’s been plagued by injuries this season, only 8 league apps. Such a shame, mate. Liverpool confirmed his departure in May. Good luck to him at Werder Bremen.
Can’t believe Keita won’t be part of the Liverpool squad anymore. He helped us win the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, and EFL Cup. Absolute legend!
Werder Bremen’s getting a talented player like Keita on a free transfer? That’s a steal! Clemens Fritz thinks he can bring him back to his best form. Exciting times ahead!
