Naby Keita will not be joining Liverpool at the Champions League final this weekend.
Jurgen Klopp had invited the soon-to-be Liverpool player to join them in Kiev for the occasion but the midfielder will instead be joining up with the Guinean National team.
Keita originally agreed to sign for Liverpool last year, but the terms of the deal meant he would join the Reds in the summer of 2018.
In his last season for RB Leipzig, he played 39 games for the German club as they finished in sixth place, which was a disappointment compared to the season before, where they finished second.

Although, Leipzig did make the Europa League semi-finals where they lost to Marseille 3-2 on aggregate.
In the 39 games he played in, he scored nine goals and made seven assists.
The midfielder will cost Liverpool £52.7 million making him Liverpool’s second most expensive signing of all time, behind defender Virgil Van Dijk.
