Naby Keita's future at Liverpool is up in the air with his contract expiring in the summer and AC Milan are reported to be keeping a close eye on the midfielder's situation.
The 27-year-old has only shown glimpses of the player Liverpool signed from RB Leipzig in 2018 after having numerous problems with injuries throughout his time at Anfield.
With there having been no sign of Keita agreeing a new deal at Liverpool, at the start of next month the Guinea midfielder will be permitted to officially hold talks with clubs from abroad over a potential free transfer next summer.

A number of clubs are thought to be keeping close tabs on Keita's situation with Italian outlet Calciomercato.it stating AC Milan have an interest in signing the 27-year-old.
However, the report states that Milan would not be able to match Keita's current wages at Liverpool and that could be a sticking point for the deal.
