Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp doesn't expect any early arrival for Naby Keita.
Liverpool have a deal with RB Leipzig for the midfielder for the end of the season, though there has been talk of the Guinean joining in January.
Klopp said: “How do we deal with this? I thought we don't speak about transfers.
“There is an agreement with the club that he will come in June or July to Liverpool.
“There is nothing else to say about that. We really don't think about it because of all the things Leipzig have said.
"They said they do not have to sell any player. Why should they do something like that (letting him leave in January)? So no, we don't think about it."
