Liverpool target Naby Keita may be letting all the transfer speculation get to him. For weeks the pressure on a potential RB Leipzig exit and arrival at Liverpool has been building, but the German club insist they won’t sell the midfielder this summer.
The big RB Liepzig story in Germany on Monday morning is Keita injuring his teammate Diego Demme in a training session.
German newspaper Bild say Keita committed a ‘brutal foul’ on Demme, and they suggest it could be related to his transfer frustration. Demme shouted out in pain and had to be helped from the pitch with his right knee bandaged.
Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl called off the session immediately, explain Bild, and sent the team back to the hotel at their Austria training camp.
Bild ponder if Keita could be frustrated over the Liverpool situation, with rumours of a fresh €83m offer.
Germany’s Kicker suggest the tackle could have been ‘revenge’ after Keita came off worse in an earlier challenge between the two players.
