Jurgen Klopp told Naby Keita will not move to Liverpool from Leipzig this month

Liverpool’s hopes of bringing forward Naby Keita’s move to Anfield have ended after RB Leipzig said only an “exorbitant” premium would facilitate his move this month.
Jurgen Klopp has no immediate alternative target who is available, but Liverpool are primed to react during the remainder of the transfer window should that change.
Discussions between Liverpool’s sporting director, Michael Edwards, and his counterpart at RB Leipzig, Ralf Rangnick, took place last week about the possibility of signing Keita now instead of on July 1, as was agreed in the summer.
