Liverpool's 27-year-old Naby Keita has been hampered too much by the scourge of injuries. However, manager Jürgen Klopp is delighted with the impact of his youngster in the Reds' midfield. His contract with the Merseyside outfit expires in mid-2023, but with an admirer now emerging from the Bundesliga, the German coach would not hesitate to let him leave in order to make space in his squad.

According to Bild, the midfielder is reported to be a big-money signing for Borussia Dortmund. The German giants' intention is to secure his services for next season, which would leave the Reds with money in the kitty with the possibility of investing it in other signings that Klopp has in mind.

With his contract coming to an end, Liverpool find themselves in a dilemma with the midfielder, for while Keita has proved during his time on Merseyside to be a reliable player who can sometimes be capable of carrying the team, he has also proved to be a player who suffers too much from injuries, limiting his appearances on the pitch in his five seasons in red.

But even with these constant injuries that have led him to be an irregular player every time he returns to the pitch, coach Jürgen Klopp has never considered his departure from the team, and during these weeks his possible renewal as Reds midfielder for at least one more season, an idea that has not gone down well at all with the fans who have already expressed themselves through social networks asking for his departure, seeing his sale as a footballing and economic relief that will not be bad for a group that is going through a generational leap.

Keita would have one foot out of Anfield 

As Liverpool's winter and summer transfer window widens, the German boss could easily let the Guinea international go, because if the issue of reinforcements is already enough pressure to consider a contract extension, the successful recovery of Thiago Alcántara further complicates Keita's situation, creating a dilemma at Anfield over who has to leave, who arrives and who stays.
