RB Leipzig management have performed a U-turn and are now prepared to sell Naby Keita to Liverpool.
BILD says RBL have accepted Keita wants to join Liverpool and are now hunting a replacement.
The Reds have had two offers rising to £66m turned down by RBL this summer.
But Leipzig have now performed an unexpected U-turn — clearing the way for Jurgen Klopp to land his No.1 transfer target.
Sports director Ralf Rangnick is studying scouting reports and has sent his staff to watch possible targets as the German outfit prepare for life without Keita.
