Liverpool strike deal to sign Keita in 2018
Naby Keita has at last finalised a transfer to Liverpool from RB Leipzig, though he will not move to Anfield until 2018.
Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Naby Keita from RB Leipzig in a club-record deal that will see him join the club next year.
The 22-year-old had been one of manager Jurgen Klopp's primary transfer targets, but the Bundesliga club had been unwilling to consider a sale ahead of their first season in the Champions League.
However, the Reds have finally struck a deal that will reportedly see them pay the £48million release clause in Keita's contract, allowing him to move to Anfield on July 1, 2018.
