Naby Keita transfer saga continues

RB Leipzig have hinted that Naby Keita could leave for Liverpool this summer. Club CEO Ralf Rangnick also confirmed that the Reds had previously made two bids for the Guinean. Rangnick said, "There were two offers from Liverpool and in between also a telephone call between the clubs. But not between me and Klopp. For us, it was always clear that we would not give up Naby Keita. That is why there was no direct contact. But we must weigh it up. If we let Keita go for €70-80m this year, what more would that bring us compared to the sum we would get next year?”

FC Barcelona agree fee for Ousmane Dembele

Dortmund want an extra £27 million in add-ons and bonuses with the Frenchman already agreeing on personal terms with the Catalans.
