RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita is appealing against a fine after being found guilty by German courts of submitting fake driving licences.
Keita, who has signed with Liverpool, has been hit with a £366,000 fine.
BILD says the massive fine was based on his £51,000-a-week contract.
But Keita is ready to fight the court order having ordered his lawyer to issue an appeal after receiving it last week, according to the report.
A Leipzig court spokesperson told the German outlet: "The appeal was received by us on November 2."
