Amid reports of mounting interest, sporting director Ralf Rangnick says he would not trade the midfielder for Manchester United’s French star
RB Leipzig are confident that Naby Keita can be kept out of the clutches of a rival, with the Bundesliga outfit adamant that they would not swap the midfielder even for Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.
The 22-year-old has seen his profile rise this season after joining Leipzig’s debut campaign in the German top-flight.
He has netted four times in 22 appearances to spark speculation of interest from Liverpool and Bayern Munich, with attention already turning towards potential summer recruits at Anfield and the Allianz Arena.
Liverpool to target Keita
Keita, though, is tied to a four-year contract at Leipzig and the club’s sporting director insists they have no intention of entertaining offers for a prized asset.
He told Sport1 Doppelpass: “I don’t know anything about Bayern’s interest. Naby’s an extraordinary player who could play in any European top team.
“He’s still under contract for a long time yet.”
