Liverpool finished the season in the 4th spot thus making their re-entry into the Champions League. Things were starting to get tense but the Reds turned on the style and notched up a handsome 3-0 win and ensured Arsenal finished outside the Top 4 after a couple of decades. The focus will now be on the recruitment of necessary players who will be better suited to deal with the possibility of 4 competitions next season.
Jurgen Klopp, the current manager of Liverpool, has been fairly happy with the way his side has shown their dominance in the Premier League this term. However, he is not happy with the performance of a number of players and might offload them during the next transfer window.
The German mastermind is reportedly looking for replacements and has already made a long list of players whom he wants to bring into Anfield to strengthen his side in the next season. One of them is the Guinea International Naby Keita, who has been nothing less than a revelation in the midfield for the German club RB Leipzig this season.
The 22-year-old midfielder has been one of the key players for his side in this year’s Bundesliga season. His pace and prowess has a number of big name clubs looking to bag him in the next season. However, it goes without saying that Leipzig will not be looking to let go off their prized possession very easily.
Reportedly, Liverpool tried their level best to bring the Guinean midfielder to Anfield at the starting of the current season, but failed to make inroads owing to the high price tag slammed on the player by RB Leipzig, which amounts to £50000 per week. This time, though, the Reds are set to make a new bid to land the talented youngster in the Premier League for their team.
Red Bull Leipzig has been nearly invincible throughout the current Bundesliga campaign and at one time of the season, they were looking favourites to topple the defending champions Bayern Munich to win the trophy this season. However, Bayern Munich successfully defended the title, leaving Leipzig at the second position on the table.
It is largely due to the heroics of the Guinean midfielder Keita that the lesser known German side has made such a big impact in one of the most prestigious football leagues in the world. The influential midfielder has scored eight goals throughout the season and made eight assists as well for his teammates.
