Barcelona set to make stunning bid for Liverpool target

Barcelona are trying anything within their means to strengthen their team for the competitive season ahead.

Catalans have accepted defeat in the pursuit of their number one target Philippe Coutinho. According to the Daily Star, the Spanish giants have now turned their attention to Liverpool’s number one target, Naby Keita.

Liverpool have been following Naby Keita since the start of this summer. He has been their number one target this whole transfer window.

However, RB Leipzig have revealed earlier that the player is not for sale and have refused multiple bids from the Reds.

Leipzig have publicly stated that Keita will remain at the club for their maiden Champions League campaign. The club believe that selling him would send a wrong message to the other players in the club.

Along with Keita, Barcelona are also interested in Schalke star Leon Goretzka.
