Noel Whelan, a former striker for Leeds, believes that a Liverpool star whose current deal will expire in the summer of 2019 should not be offered a new one at Anfield because he does not deserve it.

The current term of the contract held by midfielder Naby Keita is drawing to a close, and the Reds are rumored to have terminated discussions regarding a new contract due to his continued absence from the field of play.

Since his high-priced transfer from RB Leipzig in 2018, when he was 27 years old, the player has struggled with a variety of injuries.

In point of fact, he has only made 117 appearances over the course of just over four years, during which time he has tallied 11 goals.

The previous year was his most productive in a Liverpool uniform, as he appeared in a total of 40 matches across all competitions.

On the other hand, this time around he has only made one appearance since the Community Shield game where he suffered a hamstring injury. Since then, he hasn’t played at all. Since then, he has been unable to participate due to issues with his muscles.

And despite the fact that the Reds have previously engaged in negotiations with the international player from Guinea in an effort to acquire an extension that would prevent him from leaving for free in the summer, Whelan believes that he should be permitted to move on to other opportunities.

In an interview with Football Insider, Whelan stated that he does not believe Keita is deserving of the “big” that he will be demanding.

Keita money better spent elsewhere

In point of fact, Whelan believed that Liverpool might make better use of the money they spent on Keita elsewhere.

He stated, “If I’m being completely forthright, I don’t believe he deserves a new deal.”

“I do not think he has put enough into the football club, and I do not think he has put enough minutes on the field to be worthy of a new contract,” said the coach. “I do not think he has put enough into the community.”

Since he joined the team, a string of injuries has followed him everywhere he goes. Although we have caught glimpses of him here and there across many seasons and tournaments, he has never been able to establish himself in a consistent role for Liverpool.

In the back of people’s thoughts, they have it in their heads that he is a player that they would love to have, but the question mark is whether or not they can keep him healthy. You do not want to play him for the remaining two-thirds of the season for the next three years because he will want high wages.

The fact that Keita’s contract will soon expire has encouraged Jurgen Klopp to investigate the possibility of making more acquisitions.

The manager of the Reds is well aware that his team’s midfield is in need of an overhaul, and names like Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, and Sofyan Amrabat continue to be mentioned in connection with a possible move.

On the 22nd of December, Liverpool will get back into action as they face off against Manchester City in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.

The Reds boss is well aware that his midfield needs to be freshened up and continues to be linked with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and Sofyan Amrabat.

Liverpool are back in action on December 22 when they take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last 16.

Not Bellingham, Liverpool ‘interested in bringing’ an equal гiᴠɑl with Kylian Mbappe to Anfield

It would appear that Liverpool are once again interested in acquiring Randal Kolo Muani.

According to FootMercato on Thursday, which was covered by HITC Sport, the French publication reported that Jurgen Klopp is interested in bringing the France national team player to Anfield. FootMercato’s report was covered by HITC Sport.

According to the same report, Muani could have a price tag of £69 million attached to him, and only time will tell if Liverpool are willing to spend such a high amount of money on a player who has never played in the Premier League.

This season, the Eintracht Frankfurt hitman has scored eight goals for the German organization in all competitions for which they have been eligible.

Aside from the fact that he appears to be a promising striker, another interesting aspect of the 24-year-old player is the country in which he was born.

According to Bundesliga.com, Muani, who was born in the Congo, spent his childhood in a small town outside of Paris called Bondy.

It is also interesting to note that Kylian Mbappe, another player who has been linked to Liverpool, is originally from the same location.

There is no way to deny that Kylian Mbappe is currently overshadowing Muani in terms of Bondy’s finest exports. This is something that cannot be denied.

However, keep in mind that the latter is continuously getting better, and despite the fact that it’s highly unlikely that he’ll ever reach Mbappe’s level, there is no question that Muani himself is a player who is very much on the rise.

Going forward, Liverpool are going to need another number nine to compete with Darwin Nunez through the middle. It’ll be fascinating to see whether the Bondy-raised marksman is a genuine target for the reds, who are going to need another number nine.

Enzo Fernandez, who is wanted by Liverpool, may no longer be Real Madrid’s top priority in terms of a transfer, according to the most recent information that was provided by journalist Mario Cortegana.

It was recently reported by Liverpool Echo that the giants of the Premier League are considering making a move to acquire the services of one of the World Cup’s most impressive players.

Even Sky Sports reported in the summer that Jurgen Klopp’s team was interested in signing the 21-year-old player in 2023, who had been called “spectacular” by the legendary Lionel Messi. This news came after Sky Sports’ report.
