Liverpool strikes deal to sign Naby 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 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 its first season in the UEFA Champions League.
However, the Reds have finally struck a deal that will reportedly see them pay the $A72 million release clause in Keita's contract, allowing him to move to Anfield on July 1, 2018.
