UNCOVERED: Naby Keita buyout clause alerts Liverpool, Chelsea

Red Bull Leipzig could find themselves powerless from preventing star midfielder Naby Keita leaving this summer.

After an outstanding campaign this season, Keita has been linked with Premier League giants Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent days.

However, RBL officials have been adamant they are under no pressure to sell the 22 year-old this summer.

But things could be about to dramatically change, with Kicker reporting Keita's current deal carries a little known €50 million buyout clause.

And given his form this season, it's suggested shelling out such a figure would be justified for any of the player's three Premier League suitors.

The Guinean international has scored 8 goals and produced 7 assists this season.
