According to head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl, Naby Keita could stay at RB Leipzig for his entire career
Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for the 22-year-old midfielder who has had a great season in what has been a remarkable campaign for RB Leipzig.
Mainly Chelsea and Arsenal have been linked with him, Liverpool and Man Utd have had brief mentions of interest.
And media outlets are speculating the Premier League giants are on the hunt for new players on the cusp of Real Madrid getting ready to raid Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool for their star players.
The German side are sitting second in the Bundesliga despite only getting promoted to the top flight last season.
Keita has been a huge part of their success and has netted eight goals and provided eight assists in central midfield.
The 22-year-old’s goalscoring efforts have inspired talks of a big-move transfer in the summer, however, Hasenhuttl is very confident he will reject any offers from any clubs.
‘He feels well, and we love him,’ Hasenhuttl told Leipziger Volkszeitung.
‘We are a super exciting club. Naby sees how much the coach invests to make him better.
He added: ‘If I take the celebrations as a benchmark, Naby will stay with us forever.
‘You just don’t just leave a squad like ours.’
Case closed? Maybe.
