AC Milan are interested in moving in for Liverpool’s Naby Keita next summer with the 27-year-old’s long-term future on Merseyside up in the air.
Keita is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the season and Liverpool are yet to tie him down to extended terms beyond next summer as clubs from across Europe set their sights on securing Keita’s signature.
According to a report from the Italian publication CalcioMercato, the Serie A holders AC Milan are keeping close tabs on Keita’s contract standoff with Liverpool and could be in the mix to make an offer to the midfielder.
A move away from Anfield for the former RB Leipzig man Keita could be seen as the opening of the door for Liverpool to step up their efforts to sign their long-standing transfer target – Jude Bellingham who remains high on Klopp’s wishlist.
The England international is one of the most sought-after names in world football and his dazzling run of performances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is likely to ensure the host of suitors table a big-money offer for his services.
