Liverpool handed transfer boost as club confirm intent to sell, bid in excess of £60m

According to a report on the Express, RB Leipzig now wants to sell star midfielder Naby Keita as Liverpool prepare a new offer this week following their £57m bid which was turned down.

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol claim RB Leipzig officials have now made up their mind that they will allow Keita to leave the club this summer transfer window.

This comes after the African told the German Bundesliga club that he wants to join Premier League club Liverpool in this summer’s transfer window and it seems that the Bundesliga club has granted him his desire.

Premier League club Liverpool are now prepared to table a new and improved offer of more than £60m in a few days.

The Guinea international midfielder is Jurgen Klopp’s prime target this summer after having signed Egyptian Mohamed Sarah from AS Roma for a club record transfer fee.

The 22-year-old midfielder was a prominent figure for the Bundesliga club on their way to finishing second in the Bundesliga but is now set to make a huge money move to Liverpool.

The midfielder managed to score eight goals in the German top flight last season and also provided seven assists in the same competition.
