German bundesliga side RB Leipzig have rejected a bid of £66m from
Liverpool for their Guinean international midfielder Naby Kieta.
The Premier league outfit have been in hot pursuit for the 22 year old
player who was one of RB Leipzig's stand out performer in their first
ever season in the German top flight last season. Where they finished
second behind Bayern Munich.
However they have repeatedly been knocked back as the club has refused
to sell at any price.
Speaking about the rejected bid, the club's owner Dietrich Mateschitz
told the German press via sports publication Bild,
"We were flattered when an offer of 75m euros (£66m) for Naby Keita
recently landed at our door. No way. He still has a contract and he
will fulfil it."
The German outfit have held the position that they prefer Naby Keita
to feature in their first ever season in the champions league. He only
arrive the club last summer of sister club Reb Bull Salzburg in the
Austrian bundesliga.
In spite of being thwarted by they repeated attempt to the Guinean
international, the player who has a contract until 2020 has a release
clause of £48 which can be triggered next summer. Yet with His
participation in the champions league this season, Liverpool might not
be the only club interested in signing him when the opportunity
presents itself next summer.
