An Italian agent claims Liverpool target Naby Keita's RB Leipzig contract carries a buyout clause.

Giovanni Branchini is confident the Guinea international will favour a move to Liverpool.

"I really like him [Keita] he's similar to [N'Golo] Kante but has better technical skills," Branchini told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"He has a release clause that can be activated from next summer.

"RB Leipzig don't want to sell him now but if he leaves he will be joining Liverpool."
