The favour Real Madrid would do Liverpool in the transfer window

Although it is a great rivalry on the pitch and also among the fans. Real Madrid could do Liverpool a favour that they would all be grateful for. They would be interested in signing a player who has been far from his best. And spends most of his time injured as now he has not played since July due to a strange muscular problem.

According to information from the website TodoFichajes, Real Madrid have initiated contacts with the Guinean midfielder Naby Keita. The African midfielder is out of contract with Liverpool at the end of the season and has not renewed his contract with the Reds. It is unlikely that German manager Jürgen Klopp will be interested in keeping him for any longer. He has been one of the most questioned signings since he arrived at Anfield.

For their part, Los Blancos want to repeat the formula used in previous years with both Alaba and Rüdiger and sign the Guinean for free. The Whites have already made a proposal in principle to him and to be able to increase the squad's depth. Right now the player also has several proposals from the Premier League and everything suggests that his future will not be clear until well into the spring.

Naby Keita had to leave the Community Shield match against Manchester City after just five minutes due to a muscular problem. Since then, little has been known about the player's progress. Coach Jürgen Klopp has only said that it is a major muscle problem, but there is no timetable for his return to action, although it is not expected to be any time soon.

Keita's poor time at Liverpool

The 27-year-old African was not registered by the Reds for the Champions League squad. This suggests that he will not be able to play again for the rest of the season. Klopp even decided to sign Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo from Juventus on loan until 2023. Keita arrived at Anfield in 2018 from RB Lepizig and has since made 117 appearances and scored 17 goals.
