Naby Keita’s tenure at Werder Bremen appears to be on shaky ground, with reports emerging of a potential departure just one season into his stint with the German club. The Guinean international finds himself at odds with club management, raising doubts about his future at Werder.
The situation escalated when Keita refused to board the team bus ahead of Werder’s Bundesliga fixture against Bayer Leverkusen last Sunday, resulting in disciplinary action.
He was promptly excluded from the professional squad and slapped with a hefty fine of €100,000. However, it seems the repercussions may not end there.
According to sources cited by BILD, discussions are underway regarding the termination of Keita’s contract.
Both parties are reportedly dissatisfied with recent events and are poised to engage in negotiations to dissolve their existing agreement.
Should Keita part ways with Werder, he is unlikely to remain without suitors for long.
A host of clubs from various regions, including Al Arabi in Qatar, Al Ettifaq and Al Riyad in Saudi Arabia, Shanghai Shenhua in China, and Al Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, have expressed interest in acquiring his services, as per insider information.
Keita’s potential departure from Werder Bremen marks a significant development in the ongoing saga, underscoring the complexities inherent in player-club relations within the footballing world.
As negotiations unfold and speculation mounts, the footballing fraternity eagerly awaits further developments regarding the future of the talented midfielder.
