Liverpool have agreed a club record deal to sign Naby Keïta from RB Leipzig next summer and are also interested in prising Thomas Lemar from Monaco before the transfer deadline on Thursday.
Keïta, Jürgen Klopp’s prime midfield target for this summer, underwent a medical in England on Monday after Liverpool finally reached agreement with Leipzig over the terms of his transfer. Liverpool are to activate the £48m release clause in the midfielder’s contract – a clause that comes into effect at the end of this season – and will pay a premium to secure the deal now.

Barcelona have been among the rival clubs linked with the Guinea international and Liverpool have moved to ensure Klopp will get his man. Leipzig have refused to consider selling Keïta in this window but have accepted a deal that will allow them to retain the player for their debut Champions League season while earning more than his eventual release clause.

The 22-year-old, who had a medical in Wilmslow on Monday and is expected to finalise the move at Melwood, will officially become a Liverpool player on 1 July 2018.

Liverpool are keen to add Lemar to their squad in this window, although they are yet to make a bid for the 21-year-old. Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the France international but have been informed by Monaco that he is not for sale. That stance may remain unchanged in the face of Liverpool’s interest but the club are expected to test Monaco’s resolve with a club-record offer worth around £60m, with the possibility of Divock Origi heading the other way.

 

klopp must really really really like this guy. unusual to sign someone a year in advance - could be a master stroke?

 

Maybe it's part of his telling Coutinho he can go next year.

 

I got better things to do. Barcelona will be made to go fvck themselves this time, because Liverpool don't need the cash and Coutinho, whether he likes it or not, needs the World Cup starting 11 berth. It is a delightful thing to see.....

 

But Keita, the bid for Lemar, the still developing thing with VVD... kind of suggests they are taking the Coutinho money.

But they did reiterate their stance. We will see.

 

Arsenal - Running??? RUNNING???

yer mad - were you not watching yesterday??

 

And effectively no different from signing a player and loaning him back for a year (eg Grujic).

 

we signed Origi outright but loaned him back for a year, as we did with Grujik. not exactly the same thing but same effect of course.

oops - just saw delay's post saying the same thing.

 

Plus we now have an additional 25m+ (?) from CL group stage?

 

Hope you're right!

Do have to wonder if VVD would even happen. If it does this would be a great window, event without Lemar.

 

Wish they could resign Can.

 

agree 100%.
when he left the pitch being subbed yesterday he had an odd expression on his face ... no smile with the boss, no "why take me off, I played great" annoyance .... just sort of a resigned expression. I hope to hell he signs and does it soon but it looks ominous, it's dragged on for way too long.

 

Factor in 50+ - as we are getting out and intot th ebig time.....
