Liverpool are set to complete the signing of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, according to SkySports.
The Reds ended their interest in the midfielder last month after failing to seal the deal this summer. RB Leipzig rejected two bids from Liverpool and also said they will not sell their player this summer.
However, the Reds strategy to secure the player worked well as they have sealed his move for next summer. The player will be having a medical this week ahead of his next summer move.
Liverpool reportedly agreed to pay £48million release clause for the player with undisclosed bonuses and premium.
Keita was exceptional last season, he helped his side to finish second in the Bundesliga. He scored 8 goals in 31 league appearances for the club.
The Reds have not been that busy in this transfer window as they signed only three players, Mohamed Salah, Dominic Solanke and Andy Robertson.
They are also planning to sign Monaco star Thomas Lemar for a bumper fee around £55.5million. Lemar was heavily in link with Arsenal throughout the summer. The French giants have not responded yet to the Reds bid.
