Liverpool target Naby Keita has expressed a desire to leave RB Leipzig this summer but the German club want at least £70m.
Leipzig say they do not wish nor do they need to sell the 22-year-old hence their high valuation.
They had hoped to keep him for this season as they look to make their bow in the Champions League.
Liverpool have rejected any proposals to take Faouzi Ghoulam from Napoli as part of a deal for Alberto Moreno.
