Liverpool great John Barnes feels Naby Keita needs to leave Anfield.
The Guinean, 26 was hauled off before half time in the Champions League quarter final first leg against Real Madrid earlier this week.
"I don't know what his future holds at Liverpool because I'm not privy to discussions and how they feel about certain a player, but I do think that it's fair to say that he's been inconsistent," the former England international told BonusCodeBets.
"He's played well at times, but he's had quite a few injuries that's meant that he's not been given a sustained run in the team.
"I know he's a good player but things haven't really worked out. It's important to say that this happens a lot for lots of different players. This is just the nature of modern football. Whereby players may cost a lot of money and have big reputations but yet, things don't work out.
"So yes, it hasn't worked out for him and it'll be interesting to see what Liverpool decides to do."
