Liverpool have finally landed Naby Keita in a club record deal - but he won’t join until next summer.
The Guinea star has been at Melwood undergoing a medical and the Reds are delighted to have landed their top summer target.
Leipzig caved in to Liverpool’s summer-long campaign to land Keita when they accepted that they could not hang on to the player beyond this season.
They rejected a £66million offer from the Reds to sign him this summer and faced losing him for £48million next year when his release clause came into affect.
The Bundesliga club decided to act now to maximise the fee for Keita and to give themselves 12 months to find his replacement.
Their hand was also forced because the midfielder has set his heart on a move to Anfield.
