Naby Keita signed off with RB Leipzig in style this past weekend ahead of his Liverpool switch.
Liverpool-bound Naby Keita has paid tribute to RB Leipzig after playing his final match for the German club on Sunday.
The 23-year-old played 76 minutes as the Bundesliga outfit finished their campaign with a 6-2 demolition away to Hertha Berlin on Saturday.
And Keita, who officially signed for Liverpool last summer, bid the club a fond farewell on Instagram yesterday following a two-year stint at the Red Bull Arena.
The exact fee that Liverpool had to pay hinged on where Leipzig finished in the Bundesliga, and The Liverpool Echo reported this past weekend that the Reds would pay £52.75 million after Saturday’s win qualified them for the Europa League via a sixth-placed finish.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have a Champions League final with Real Madrid on Saturday week and how Keita would love to be joining Europe’s best side.
Such a talent would undoubtedly help the Anfield club bridge the gap domestically, after Premier League champions Manchester City finished 25 points clear of the fourth-placed Reds this season.
