RB Leipzig chief Rangnick accepts Liverpool target Keita will leave, but...

RB Leipzig chief Ralf Rangnick concedes they'll lose Naby Keita in a year's time.

RBL have resisted multiple offers from Liverpool this summer, rising to €70m.

However, Rangnick accepts Keita will be on the move next summer, telling BILD: "We always said, if players develop faster than our club, then it will also be that a player leaves us.

"(But) it's important that Naby is still playing with us this season."

Keita's contract will see a €50m buyout clause established in 2018.

Rangnick added: "I'm currently assuming we cannot cancel it."
