The World Cup in Qatar is entering its final phase, and with it, we would have the resumption of the major leagues in the world including the Premier League, where the Red's are in sixth position with 22 points, thus, having the need to score as many points as possible to close the 22/23 season with a direct ticket to the next edition of the UEFA Champions League.

Inside the Red's things look a bit tense, as the winter transfer market could open the door for the departure of some stars, and others would enter the final stretch of their contracts, as is the case of the Guinean Naby Keita, who in the last semester has been injured, and unable to fight for a place in the starting eleven of Jürgen Klopp, who has already made a decision on the future of the African.

Keita arrived at Anfield in 2018 after being acquired from Red Bull Leipzig for a fee of around 60 million, tying him to the club until mid-2023. Since then he has had a back-and-forth situation, where the last season has been difficult because since the FA Community Shield final, where they beat Manchester City 3-1, Keita has not played. In that match, he came on at the end of the game and played just five minutes.

Recently, a Premier League study revealed that the 27-year-old player has the fourth highest score per game in the history of the league, that is, the Pool player is above players like Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus and even Kevin de Bruyne. With 2.49 he is tied with Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko, who did it in a shorter time.

Naby Keita leaves Anfield

Keita added more than 70 days of absence with the Red's after suffering a knock in the summer. Reports from England reveal that negotiations on a possible renewal are at a standstill, as the board is not happy with the midfielder's performance, as he has picked up a score of injuries during his time at Anfield. Klopp would have given the go-ahead for his departure, and thus open the place for a new player.
