Jurgen Klopp is trying desperately to bring RB Leipzig’s Naby Keita to Anfield and as of now most of his plans have fallen flat. The German outfit already have rejected two bids from Liverpool, and the club have repeatedly echoed the same statement – the player is not up for sale, no matter how much amount of money is put on the table.

But now it looks as if Liverpool are seeing a ray of hope in the deal as a few moves from the Guinean has made the Reds faithful believe that the midfielder is trying to force a move to Liverpool. Firstly, the 22-year-old was involved in a training ground incident in which he seemingly injured Diego Demme and was forced to apologise to his international and club teammate by the Leipzig boss. Many Liverpool fans are ready to read between the lines and are claiming that the player has been growing frustrated with the fact that Leipzig are not allowing him to move out. And this rough tackle in the play ground was an outburst of this growing frustration.

The second incident was that Keita recently started following two Liverpool players on Instagram – Sadio Mane and Firmino. And nowadays a social media follow is a confirmation of sorts that a player is ready to shift clubs.

The Football Fan Base view:

Liverpool have made two bids for Naby Keita one for £55 million and the other in the region of £66 million, but both were rejected swiftly by the German outfit. We feel that Liverpool are not yet ready to give up and will definitely place another bid for the player. And if the reports of Keita wanting to move out of Leipzig hold any truth then Liverpool definitely have an upper hand in the bargain.
