LIVERPOOL WILL SIGN NABY KEITA FOR A REDUCED FEE IF THIS HAPPENS
Liverpool have reportedly agreed a contract with RB Leipzig where Naby Keita’s price is dependant on the club’s finishing place in the Bundesliga.
Last summer, an agreement was reached for Keita to make a move to Anfield ahead of the 2018-19 campaign after helping his club into the Champions League for the first time in their history.
the financial terms were not concluded and would only be determined by how RB Leipzig fare in Germany’s top flight this campaign.
Leipzig could probably finish in any place between second and 11th place, and a top-four place would lead to Liverpool having to spend a figure of £59m.
But, ending the season in fifth or sixth place which is where they currently sit would lead to a reduction to £52.75m, while seventh and below would see Liverpool pay £48m.
Keita has scored six goals and made five assists in 25 games in the Bundesliga this campaign.
Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp has reportedly earmarked Juventus playmaker Paulo Dybala as the ideal replacement to Philippe Coutinho at Liverpool.
The South American left Anfield for Barcelona in January, and the Reds did not invest in a primary replacement in the same transfer window.
Although Coutinho’s absence has not been felt due to the practical form of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firminoand Sadio Mane, Klopp is still understood to be on the lookout for a new attacking midfielder.
As reported by the Italian outlet Mediaset Sport, Liverpool have recognized Dybala as the right player to take over from Coutinho and will seek to make a big-money transfer in the summer.
