Liverpool could reportedly still be open to sanctioning the departure of Naby Keita this month.
The 26-year-old Guinea ace has flattered to deceive thus far on Merseyside following a £48millon arrival from RB Leipzig in 2018 (BBC).
Often linked with an early departure from Anfield, Keita had seemed to be afforded another stay of execution from Jurgen Klopp’s plans.
However, according to a report from ESPN, as cited by ThinkLFCTV on Twitter, the dynamic midfielder could be ‘available for the right offer’ this month.

The same report suggests Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Takumi Minamino and out of favour striker, Divock Origi, could all be sold before the deadline passes.
Unlike Origi and Minamino, Keita has featured prominently in the opening weeks of the season – starting both Premier League fixtures before being replaced late on.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Given the inaction in the market to replace Gini Wijnaldum, surely there is no chance Liverpool allow Keita or Oxlade-Chamberlain to depart before the window closes.
Once described as ‘world class’ by Virgil van Dijk, there are few that doubt Keita’s ability to be a big part of Klopp’s side.
Injury and fitness struggles have so far curtailed any form and development in England – two issues all associated will hope are now a thing of the past.
Another season in the mould of the last three could well see the club cash in on the 38-cap Guinea captain.
