Liverpool told Naby Keita price
Every player has their price. But sometimes that price is very high. Very high indeed.
According to German newspaper BILD this morning, Naby Keita could cost Liverpool around £70m to prise from RB Leipzig.
The Bundesliga club are determined not to sell, and the price-tag reflects their stance.
Jurgen Klopp has made Keita a priority target as he looks to add to his options in the centre of midfield this summer.
The Guinea international impressed with his box-to-box performances as Leipzig put together an unlikely title challenge. The 22-year-old got eight goals and eight assists in 31 games for the club last season.
RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff recently spoke of the club's desire to keep Keita for at least another season.
He said: “It would be negligent to sell one of our key players now.
"Emil and Naby are extremely talented and developable players, we are glad that we are able to keep up with their development as a club."
