Leipzig are 'immune' to offers for Liverpool target Keita
RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff says he’s “bored” by speculation over the future of Liverpool target Naby Keita.
The Reds are prepared to shatter their transfer record to buy the 22-year-old midfielder, who is understood to be keen on a move to Anfield.
However, Mintzlaff, who is under contract until 2020, remains adamant that the Guinea international is not for sale and expects to see him back in pre-season training next week.
Asked by Sportbuzzer whether Leipzig were “immune” to offers for Keita, Mintzlaff said: “Yes. And that topic is boring.
“This is only our second Bundesliga season, our squad is still the youngest and most likely also the most inexperienced.
“Sure, it would be great to start where we left off. It’s an advantage that there’s no upheaval.”
Leipzig qualified for the Champions League by finishing second to Bayern Munich last season. They are pushing ahead with ambitious plans to expand the Red Bull Arena from a capacity of 43,000 to 57,000.
