Naby Keita has not asked for an early transfer to Liverpool, according to RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff.
A deal to take Keita to Anfield next summer was agreed in August and, amid rumours that the former Salzburg midfielder is eyeing a switch in January, the Bulls boss has laid such to rest.
"Neither Naby nor his agent have made the request to leave the club in the winter," Mintzaff told Bild.
"There are contracts, and they say that he will be a Liverpool employee from July 1 onwards."
According to the Mintzaff, Keita will continue to give his all to ensure, among others, the fifth-place team return to Europe, despite entering the final months at the Red Bull Arena outfit.
