Naby Keïta is a Guinean central midfielder who plays for Ferencváros in Hungary and captains the Guinea national team. He won Austrian doubles with Red Bull Salzburg, starred for RB Leipzig and then won the Champions League, Premier League and Club World Cup with Liverpool between 2018 and 2023.
The Sunday Times valued his wealth at £14 million in May 2022, about $18.8 million at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. That put him joint 26th among the 34 footballers on its list of the richest people in the UK aged 30 and under.
How he made his money
Keïta's wealth comes mainly from five seasons of wages at Liverpool, which agreed his transfer from Leipzig a year in advance, plus his earlier contracts in Germany and sponsorship deals.
He qualified for the British list because he was playing in England when it was compiled. The reports we checked did not break down his fortune.
Career at a glance
Born in Conakry, Keïta began his professional career with FC Istres in France's Ligue 2 in 2013 and moved to Salzburg a year later. At Leipzig he was one of the Bundesliga's best midfielders and made the Europa League squad of the season.
Injuries limited his time at Liverpool, and he joined Werder Bremen in 2023 before moving to Ferencváros. He has more than 50 caps for Guinea, has played at four Africa Cup of Nations and carried his country's flag at the 2024 Olympics.
About this estimate
The Sunday Times publishes its Rich List every spring, along with a list of the 100 richest people in the UK aged 30 and under. The May 2022 edition included 34 footballers, and the Daily Star printed all of them with their figures. It valued Keïta's wealth at the amount shown on this page. The paper bases its numbers on identifiable wealth such as earnings after tax, property and company stakes, not on salary alone.
This is the most recent Sunday Times figure for Keïta that we could find. It has not been updated since 2022, so his wealth today is likely different. We show the figure as published, in pounds, with a rough dollar conversion at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. Transfer fees and wages mentioned on this page are club spending or earnings, not wealth.
