Liverpool target Keita to cost up to €80m
Liverpool’s interest in RB Leipzig has been well documented over the course of the last few months, but it’s looking as though they will have to cough up a club-record fee to land him.
According to German news outlet BILD, as cited by GGFN tonight, Leizpig are ready to demand a quite staggering fee of €80m for their prized asset.

Keita enjoyed a hugely successful season in the Bundesliga last term and appears to have the majority of the top European clubs chasing his signature this summer.
However, Liverpool’s interest looks to be the strongest and they are evidently keen on bringing him to Anfield this summer.
Leipzig will be keen to keep hold of their key players as they head into the Champions League next season, but the midfielder will be one of the most highly sought after players in the world in the upcoming transfer window and the Reds are sure to be keeping tabs on the situation.
