Liverpool ‘considering their options before moving for Keita again’

Liverpool will consider their options before deciding to whether or not lodge a third bid for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

The Reds have already seen offers of £57m and £66m for the Guinean international turned down by the Bundesliga outfit who have made it absolutely clear he’s not for sale.

If the Merseysiders decide to make one more push, the fee as as the Daily Mirror writes is expected to be in excess of £70m, though chances are Leipzig will once again reject their approach.

Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, if that comes to pass will then look elsewhere as he attempts to strengthen his midfield options ahead of the forthcoming campaign in which Liverpool will be fighting on four fronts.

Naby Keita won 77 take-ons in the Bundesliga last season

A revelation in the Bundesliga last season, the all-action midfielder was at the heartbeat behind of Leipzig’s improbable championship push, when he registered eight goals and created a further eight for his teammates.
