RB Leipzig have dug their heels in over Liverpool target Naby Keita, rejecting a €75million bid for the midfielder.

The Guinea international was one of Ralph Hasenhuttl's star players as Leipzig finished second to Bayern Munich in their maiden Bundesliga campaign.

Keita's all-action style has reportedly caught the attention of Jurgen Klopp, who has added Mohamed Salah and Dominic Solanke to his squad thus far as the Reds look to build on last season's fourth-place finish.

Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz confirmed that the Bundesliga new boys, who - like Liverpool - are plotting for the Champions League next term, revealed exactly to what extent Leipzig are prepared to go to in order to keep hold of their star man.

Mateschitz told Sport Bild: "Lately we got a €75m offer for Naby Keita. No way! 

"He has a contract and he will accomplish it. To sell him would not only be a proof of distrust to our fans but also the wrong sign for our players like Timo Werner, who is in demand too."

Earlier this month, Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick claimed that the club would resist offers breaching €100m for Keita, which could prompt the Reds to focus their attention elsewhere.
