Jurgen Klopp has already indicated that he could dip into the market if Naby Keita is to leave Liverpool this summer. Liverpool are continuing talks with Keita over a new contract with the Guinean entering the final 12 months of his current deal and, at present, would be able to open discussions with clubs from abroad from January.
Reports in Germany on Wednesday claimed Keita was unhappy with the negotiations over a new Reds deal, suggesting they had broken down while hinting he could leave before the transfer window closes on September 1.
The ECHO, however, understands that Liverpool have received no indication of Keita being discontent with his situation, and maintain a good relationship with the player and his representatives.
