Liverpool
are set to complete the signing of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, according to SkySports.
The
Reds ended their interest in the midfielder last month after failing to seal
the deal this summer. RB Leipzig rejected two bids from Liverpool and also said
they will not sell their player this summer.
However,
the Reds strategy to secure the player worked well as they have sealed his move
for next summer. The player will be having a medical this week ahead of his
next summer move.
Liverpool
reportedly agreed to pay £48million release clause for the player with
undisclosed bonuses and premium.
Keita
was exceptional last season, he helped his side to finish second in the Bundesliga.
He scored 8 goals in 31 league appearances for the club.
The
Reds have not been that busy in this transfer window as they signed only three
players, Mohamed Salah, Dominic Solanke and Andy Robertson.
They
are also planning to sign Monaco star Thomas Lemar for a bumper fee around
£55.5million. Lemar was heavily in link with Arsenal throughout the summer. The
French giants have not responded yet to the Reds bid.
