Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest transfer update surrounding midfielder Naby Keita.
This comes after Liverpool fan Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in a report from the Mirror, as cited by BILD.
The report revealed that Keita “could be on his way out of Liverpool” with a return to former club RB Leipzig a “possibility” this summer.
Should Naby Keita start more games for Liverpool when fit?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were keen to have their say on this latest news.

The 25-year-old has only made 18 appearances for the Merseyside club so far this season, scoring just three goals and providing one assist along the way (per Transfermarkt). Despite this poor goal and assists record so far this season, and recent reports linking him with a move back to his previous club Leipzig, these Liverpool fans would not like to see Keita leave the Anfield this summer.
You would be mad to sell Keita.

What do we think?
In Keita’s defence, he is currently on a season rating of 7.13 for his performances in a Liverpool shirt this season with an average pass success percentage of 89.6% across the Premier League and Champions League (per WhoScored). It’s good to see this number of Liverpool fans coming to Keita’s defence and hoping the club doesn’t let him go back to Germany this summer, this proves that despite not being a regular starter for the team, he is still well-liked by the fans.
