“Naby Keïta Reflects on Liverpool Career: Regrets, Injuries, and Lasting Fan Love”

Naby Keïta reflects on his time at Liverpool with a sense of regret, particularly as he finds himself sidelined with Bremen’s under-23 team. The midfielder, who was signed from RB Leipzig for a then club-record fee of £54 million, recalls the excitement of joining the club and being given the iconic No. 8 shirt previously worn by Steven Gerrard. Despite achieving significant success during his tenure, including winning the Champions League, the Club World Cup, and Liverpool's first Premier League title, Keïta often contemplates what could have been. Injuries plagued his time at Anfield, limiting him to just 49 league starts over five seasons. Even now, Keïta expresses gratitude for the support he receives from Liverpool fans, who continue to show him love whenever they meet. His journey at the club may have been marred by challenges, but the fond memories and achievements remain a significant part of his career.
