There is renewed hope for Liverpool in their chase for RB Leipzig and
Guinean international midfielder Naby Keita.
The 22 year was the subject of two bids from the Merseysiders that was
rejected by the Bundesliga outfit. Claiming the player would not be
sold at any price.
Now German publication Bild, are reporting that RB Leipzig are
secretly planning for life without the Guinean after they send scouts
to search for a possible replacement. Whether the plans are for this
season or next when he would be available for £48m according to a
clause in his contract.
According to reports, Liverpool are preparing a third bid of £74m for
the 22 year old who has played just one season with a team that
finished second in their maiden campaign in the German top flight.
Meanwhile, Liverpool would be flying to Germany this week not to try
to court Naby Keita, but to participate in a series of friendly
matches.
They would play Hertha Berlin at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, before
participating in the Audi Cup in Munich.
So far, Liverpool have brought in three players in striker Dominic
Solanke, winger Mohammed Salah and defender Andrew Robertson.
