Seemed the best signing, couldn't handle the pressure at Liverpool, prefers to leave Anfield

It will always be worth recognising when a young player wants to make that important leap in quality by moving to a major European football institution, but sadly some are only inches away from the finishing line once they have to compete at the highest level, with the feeling of failure all too rare for a player like Naby Keita, who was unable to shine not because of his football but rather because of his ups and downs with his health.

Since the Guinean-born midfielder was playing in the Bundesliga he was already showing that he had incredible potential to be one of the next midfield stars in Europe, which is why Juren Klopp's eye followed him for a while until he was able to secure his transfer in the 2018-2019 season, not caring much at the time for the German that one but he had in his career which was injuries.

Inconsistencies due to physical ailments evidently diminished the quality of the Guinean for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, causing his recovery had to be double, not achieving any of its two main objectives at that time and even this worsened by adding the psychological issue later, having to carry an immense pressure imposed by the red fans.

Although the Guinean recovered his strength and put aside those ailments a season ago, his relapse in the pre-season of this new cycle caused a total rupture between fans and player, as it was clear that from the stands they did not want an element that could not act as support even if his football level was limited, affecting the situation recently to a Jurgen Klopp who could not keep calm and already shows signs of wanting his departure as he is already looking for substitutes in the position.

Naby Keita leaves Liverpool

Constant injuries had Keita knocked out throughout his time at Liverpool, but it was the criticism and pressure that finished off a player of great qualities who lost his way on the road to success. His departure is now imminent, and fans, Jurgen Klopp and the player himself are left wondering what would have happened if the injuries had never appeared during his almost five seasons at Anfield.
