Keïta began his professional career with Ligue 2 club FC Istres in 2013, and a year later he moved to Red Bull Salzburg, where he won the Austrian Football Bundesliga and Austrian Cup double in both of his seasons. He then moved to RB Leipzig in 2016, making the Bundesliga team of the season in his first year and the UEFA Europa League squad of the season in his second. He agreed to join Liverpool in 2017, and completed the move a year later, winning the UEFA Champions League in his first season at the club, and the FIFA Club World Cup and Premier League the following season.
Keïta made his senior international debut for Guinea in 2012. He has earned over 50 caps and was part of their squad at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015, 2019, 2021 and 2023. He represented Guinea at the 2024 Summer Olympics and was chosen as his country's flag bearer.
Club career
editIstres
editKeïta joined hometown club Horoya AC aged nine.[3] He moved to France in 2012, joining the youth team of FC Istres after unsuccessful trials at FC Lorient and Le Mans FC.[3]
In 2013, he was promoted to the first team of Istres. He made his Ligue 2 debut on 22 November 2013 against Nîmes Olympique.[4] He scored 11 goals in 23 games in his first season as a professional, while his team were relegated to the Championnat National.[5]
Red Bull Salzburg
editIn 2014, he joined Austrian top division side Red Bull Salzburg.[3] He made his league debut on 26 July 2014 against Wiener Neustadt.[6] Keïta ended the season with five goals and two assists in 30 games, winning the league and cup double. The following season, he was selected as the Austrian Bundesliga Player of the Year.[7]
RB Leipzig
editIn June 2016, Keïta moved to Red Bull Salzburg sister-club RB Leipzig, who had just been promoted to the German Bundesliga.[3][8] He scored the winner on his league debut against Borussia Dortmund[9] and scored seven more goals in his debut Bundesliga season. He was named in the league's team of the season.[10]
Keïta was named in the squad of the season for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League, in which his team were quarter-finalists.[11]
Liverpool
edit2017–18 season
editOn 28 August 2017, a deal was struck for Keïta to join Liverpool on 1 July 2018 after the English club triggered his £48 million release clause in addition to paying an undisclosed premium.[12][13] It was then reported that there would be no premium (£48 million total) if Leipzig did not qualify for European football, £4.75 million (£52.75 million total) if they qualified for the Europa League and £11 million (£59 million total) if they finished in the Champions League spots.[14] Leipzig ultimately finished 6th in the Bundesliga, therefore qualifying for the Europa League.[citation needed]
2018–19 season
editUpon joining Liverpool, he was handed the number 8 shirt by Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard, which had been vacated upon the departure of Gerrard to LA Galaxy in 2015.[15][16] Keïta made his debut for Liverpool against West Ham United on 12 August 2018 and played a part in the opening goal for Mohamed Salah in a 4–0 win.[17]
On 5 April 2019, Keïta scored his first goal for Liverpool in a 3–1 win against Southampton,[18] and added a first European goal four days later against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg.[19] He was injured in May 2019, ruling him out for the rest of the season.[20] Although Keïta was injured, he won his first Liverpool title while out of the matchday squad as his team mates secured the win in the Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur in early June.[21]
2019–20 season
editHampered by injury,[22][23] Keïta was a fringe player during the early part of the subsequent season.[24] On 7 December, he provided a goal and assist in a 3–0 win away against AFC Bournemouth, a game which marked his first league start of the season.[25] On 10 December, he provided Liverpool's first goal in a 2–0 Champions League win against his former club, Salzburg, which saw the reigning European champions progress to the knockout stages as the victors of Group E.[26]
On 18 December, he scored the opening goal in a 2–1 win over Mexican club Monterrey as Liverpool progressed to the Club World Cup final;[27] three days later, on 21 December, he started in the final against Flamengo, playing 100 minutes until being substituted as Liverpool won 1–0 to be crowned world club champions.[28] On 2 January 2020, he was named in the starting line-up against Sheffield United, but was withdrawn after sustaining a groin injury during the warm-up, being replaced by James Milner.[29] At the end of the season, Keïta won the Premier League title with Liverpool.[30]
2022–23 season
editOn 17 May 2023, Liverpool announced that Keita would be leaving the club once his contract expired in the summer. Injuries meant he started only 49 Premier League games during his time with the club.[31]
Werder Bremen
editOn 9 June 2023, Bundesliga club Werder Bremen announced that Keita would join the club as a free agent.[32][33] While sporting director Frank Baumann labelled Keita's signing as a "no-brainer" ahead of the season, Keita eventually failed to impress, starting just one competitive game. Ahead of Bremen's Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen on 14 April 2024, Keita refused to board the team bus to the stadium and headed home, after being told he would not be part of the starting line-up. The club subsequently suspended him and fined him "a significant amount".[34]
Ferencváros
editOn 10 December 2024, it was announced that Keita would join Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Ferencvárosi TC on loan in January.[35] The deal reportedly included an option to purchase and would last until the end of the year.[36]
International career
editOn 14 December 2012, Keïta made his international debut for the Guinea national team against Sierra Leone in a 2014 African Nations Championship qualification match. He scored the opener for his side in a 1–1 away draw.[37]
Keïta was included in Michel Dussuyer's 23-man squad for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.[38] In the opening match against the Ivory Coast, he was struck in the face by Gervinho, who was red carded for it.[39]
On 12 November 2015, Keïta scored his first international goal in three years, in a 1–0 away win against Namibia in the first leg of the second round of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[40] Three days later in the return leg – in Morocco due to the Ebola virus epidemic in Guinea – he scored again in a 2–0 win.[41]
Manager Paul Put chose Keïta for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where he was affected by injuries.[42] In January 2022, Keïta helped Guinea qualify for the round of 16 of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. His performances saw him earn a place in the tournament's best eleven of the group stage. However, Guinea were eliminated after a loss to Gambia, a match Keïta could not play due to yellow cards accumulation.[43]
Style of play
editWhile writing for The Guardian, Nick Ames and Nick Miller described Keïta as "a dynamic, box-to-box central midfielder," likening him to N'Golo Kanté. They also noted, however, that he is able to distribute the ball with range and accuracy, and score goals, which has instead frequently led him to be compared to Brazilian-Portuguese former playmaker Deco.[44] David Usher of ESPN has described Keïta as an energetic midfielder, with good defensive qualities, which also allows him to play in a holding role if necessary. Usher went on to note that Keïta is "quick, skillful, creative and direct. He can dribble, pass and shoot, and he frequently makes the spectacular look routine". Ralf Rangnick attributes him having a natural 360° radar.[45][46]
Personal life
editKeïta has a younger brother, Petit Keïta, who was previously on the books with German side Inter Leipzig. In October 2018, it was reported that he had been training at Liverpool's Academy, although he was not offered a contract.[47]
In 2017, Keïta was charged with presenting false documents. The German newspaper Bild reported that, in early December 2016 and again six weeks later, he had presented two fake Guinean driving licences in order to obtain a driving licence in Germany. The district court in Leipzig (Amtsgericht Leipzig) fined him €415,000, basing the sentence on Keïta's estimated annual income of around €3 million. Keïta's lawyer filed an appeal.[48] The appeals court reduced the fine to €250,000.[49]
In September 2021, Keïta, his Guinean teammates and their opponents from Morocco were stranded during the 2021 Guinean coup d'état. All returned home safely.[50]
In July 2024, Keïta was named in Guinea's squad for the 2024 Olympics in France, as one of the three overage players.[51] He was then chosen to be his country's flag bearer during the opening ceremony of the event.[52]
