Naby Keita, captain of Guinea’s national football team, the Sily National, is set to depart from Werder Bremen after both parties agreed to end their collaboration. The decision, which marks the end of Keita’s brief stint with the German club, comes amid ongoing tensions and unresolved issues between the player and the team’s management.
Keita, who joined Werder Bremen following his departure from Liverpool, will no longer feature for the club.
Despite being under contract until 2026, the 28-year-old midfielder has been instructed to seek new opportunities elsewhere.
However, until a new club is found, Keita will continue to train individually at the Bremen facilities.
The rift between Keita and Werder Bremen’s management reportedly stemmed from a disagreement with the team’s coach, which has ultimately led to the mutual decision for Keita to move on.
The club, in its official statement, confirmed that ongoing discussions between Keita, his representatives, and the club’s management have yet to yield a final resolution regarding his future.
“Discussions between the club, consultants, and players have not yet brought a final solution in the case of Keita, under contract at Bremen until 2026,” read the press release.
Despite the lack of a concrete outcome, Werder Bremen made it clear that Keita will not rejoin the team’s collective training sessions.
Instead, he will continue to train on his own as he explores potential new challenges in his career.
The statement also emphasized that the decision was reached through a candid and constructive dialogue between all parties involved.
“It was a very frank discussion in which we came to the conclusion together that this is the most sensible path forward given the current situation,” the club’s statement concluded.
Keita’s departure from Werder Bremen brings an end to what has been a tumultuous period for the midfielder.
Having been hailed as a major signing for the club, his time in Bremen has been marred by injuries and inconsistent performances, preventing him from making the desired impact on the pitch.
As Keita prepares to leave Werder Bremen, speculation is already mounting about his next destination.
The talented midfielder, who has also represented RB Leipzig and Liverpool in his career, is expected to attract interest from several clubs across Europe.
For now, Keita remains focused on maintaining his fitness and preparing for the next chapter in his football journey.
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, will look to move forward without Keita as they seek to stabilize their squad and focus on their objectives for the upcoming season.
The club’s decision to part ways with the Guinea international reflects a broader strategy to address internal challenges and optimize team dynamics.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Keita’s next move, with fans and pundits alike eager to see where the experienced midfielder will continue his career.
