Naby Keita attempts to force through Liverpool transfer while LA Galaxy reignite Zlatan Ibrahimovic interest

Liverpool target Naby Keita is to hold further talks with his club Red Bull Leipzig this week after they re-iterated their stance to keep him this summer.

The Guinea international midfielder is understood to be keen on a move to Anfield now rather than wait until next summer when his release clause comes into play.

Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick said: 'We will definitely not be letting any key players go. There's nothing that will make us budge.'

Liverpool want a defensive midfielder, centre-back and left-back with Virgil van Dijk and Hull's Andrew Robertson among the options.
