Naby Keita's free transfer to Werder Bremen this summer potentially looked like one of the best deals.

However, the 29-year-old defender suffered a difficult injury during a friendly match before the start of the season, and later there were also caprices.

Werder Bremen officially announced that N. Keita refused to travel to the match against Bayer Leverkusen.

Before the match, the Guinean footballer found out that he would have a substitute role, which he did not like at all.

Werder director Clemens Fritza said that now N. Keita and his agent are awaiting a conversation with the club management.
