£48m Liverpool flop deleted from current club's website with Bundesliga side hoping to ship him out to Chinese Super League in January

Bundesliga

Eintracht Frankfurt

Werder Bremen

Keita has endured a rough time with injury throughout his career but the Guinean's career at Bremen ended in turmoil when he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/naby-keita-suspended-werder-bremen-barred-club-facilities-ex-liverpool-star-punishment-allegedly-refusing-team-bus-bayer-leverkusen-game/bltf6b15970364b375a" target="_blank">refused to play for the club in April against Leverkusen</a>, having only joined the club on a free transfer from Liverpool the previous summer. The former RB Leipzig man's picture has since been removed from the 'professional squad' section of Werder's website, with his name and shirt number the only thing remaining.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/werder-bremen/werder-bremen-wie-der-klub-transfer-flop-naby-keita-loswerden-will-66f3d79ffb29f574dda336bb" target="_self">Bild</a>, Bremen thought they were rid of Keita in September after accepting an offer from Turkish side Hatayspor, with the club covering a portion of the player's wages to ensure no financial loss to him. However, Keita opted against leaving despite giving his approval to the transfer and passing a medical. The situation infuriated Bremen, with Keita having 'no chance' of returning to the squad and being forced to train alone.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Keita came off the bench in Liverpool's 2022 Champions League final against Real Madrid but the 29-year-old has played just 402 league minutes since then, which amounts to less than five full matches. With a contract until 2026, Keita is believed to be costing Bremen almost €7,000 a day.

DID YOU KNOW?

Werder are hoping their actions will convince Keita to leave in the winter after he refused to depart during the summer. The Bundesliga outfit are holding out for a move to China, where teams are interested, as discussions continue in the background.

WHAT NEXT FOR KEITA?
