Guinea international Naby Keita leaves Werder Bremen as Ferencvaros seal permanent deal
The transfer brought his short and frustrating spell at SV Werder Bremen to an end.
The 30-year-old midfielder initially joined Ferencvaros on loan in January 2025 and has now committed his future to the club, departing Bremen on a free transfer, wrote Pan African Football.
While the Hungarian side will retain Keita on a permanent basis, the financial details of the agreement have not been disclosed.
Keita arrived at Werder Bremen in 2023 with significant pedigree, having previously enjoyed a glittering period at Liverpool.
During his time at Anfield, the dynamic midfielder collected an impressive haul of silverware, including the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and the Community Shield.
However, his time in Germany never gained momentum. Keita struggled for continuity at Bremen, managing just five Bundesliga appearances before seeking a fresh start through a loan move to Ferencvaros midway through the 2024/25 season.
The switch to Hungary proved far more productive. Since joining the Green Eagles, Keita has featured in 28 matches across competitions, contributing five assists and playing a key role in midfield as he rebuilt his rhythm and confidence.
Werder Bremen managing director for sport Clemens Fritz confirmed the club's stance on the move, expressing satisfaction with the outcome for all involved.
"After the end of his loan spell, we have now found a solution that is satisfactory for all parties," Fritz said on the club's official website.
"We wish Naby all the best for the future."
Keita will now look to settle fully at Ferencvaros and revive his career with regular football in Hungary.
