Jurgen Klopp could bring in the third signing for Liverpool and it is a doozy. Naby Keita, who was one of the brightest stars for RB Leipzig, and has been linked with a move to the Reds this summer despite his parent club asking for close to £70million.
The 22-year-old Guinea international helped the new boys finish second in the Bundesliga and has now seemingly agreed to personal terms with the club according to Gab Marcotti.
The Italian journalist also added that no price has been set between the clubs for the midfielder but that hasn’t stopped a number of people going a little loopy on Twitter.
Really liked Salah in Roma and Liverpool snapped him. And now Naby Keita is on the cards. Worth £75m for me.

Imagine the scenes if we would announce Keita and Van Dijk on the same day. Liverpool twitter would be at the best for a very long time.

Keita is seen as a player that can hold his own in midfield and can score a few goals as well. The Leipzig star scored 8 goals and provided 8 assists in 31 Bundesliga games and many predict that he will be a hit at Anfield, should the deal actually materialise.
