Naby Keita linked with AC Milan switch

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is a summer transfer target for AC Milan, according to a report from Italy.

Keita originally agreed to join The Reds in 2017 but didn’t arrive until the summer of 2018 but he has only made just 51 appearances since then, due to a combination of injuries and poor form.

With Keita’s former boss Ralf Rangnick being linked with a move to become AC Milan’s new manager, the midfielder is apparently one of their summer targets, with the report even suggesting that he is ready to push to leave the Reds after just two seasons.

Given that he is the third-most-expensive player in the history of Liverpool Football Club, and given that they pushed so hard to get a deal done for him, it would be a huge shock if the Reds cashed in on Keita this summer.

The reports claim that Liverpool are considering selling the 24-year-old to raise funds for their own summer transfer deals but in truth, we would be shocked if that was the case.

Keita has had bad luck with injuries and as such, he’s never been able to really put a run of games together to prove his real worth to the Reds, but it seems illogical for Liverpool to sell him now, especially if it was just to raise funds for other deals.
