Werder Bremen’s acquisition of Guinea’s national team captain, Naby Keïta, dubbed “Deco,” last summer from Liverpool on a free transfer initially appeared to be a major coup for the German club. However, the player’s time with Werder Bremen has been marred by persistent injuries, prompting the club to consider parting ways with him in the upcoming transfer window.
Keïta’s struggles with fitness have limited his playing time since joining Werder Bremen, featuring in just three German Bundesliga matches and tallying a mere 81 minutes on the pitch.
As a result, the club is now in discussions with the player’s representatives to facilitate his departure.
Reports suggest that several clubs in the Persian Gulf region have expressed interest in Keïta’s services.
Among them are Al Ettifaq and Al Riyadh from Saudi Arabia, Shanghai Shenhua from China, and Al Sharjah from the United Arab Emirates.
The impending departure of Naby Keïta signals a disappointing turn of events for Werder Bremen, who had high hopes for the midfielder upon his arrival.
However, injuries have plagued his tenure with the club, leading to a reassessment of his future.
While Werder Bremen had initially viewed Keïta’s signing as a significant coup, the reality has been far from ideal.
The player’s frequent spells on the sidelines have hindered his ability to make a meaningful impact on the pitch.
As discussions continue regarding Keïta’s exit from Werder Bremen, attention turns to his next career move and the potential opportunities awaiting him in the Persian Gulf region.
For Keïta, a fresh start may be on the horizon as he looks to overcome the setbacks that have hampered his time in Germany.
