RB Leipzig have\u00a0given the strongest indication yet that they intend to keep a hold of the players that helped them finish runners-up in the Bundesliga last season including, Liverpool target, Naby Keita.<\/p>\n
The Reds have been linked with a move for the highly-rated midfielder for most of the summer although he has previously indicated a preference\u00a0for Man City in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Leipzig are set for their Champions League debut next season having finished behind Bayern Munich but ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n
And the club’s sporting director Ralf Rangnick has said that they need to keep their key players if they want to compete with the top clubs in Europe.<\/p>\n
“We will definitely not be letting any key players go. There’s nothing that will make us budge,” Rangnick said.<\/p>\n
“It’s totally normal for clubs to be interested in our players, but that doesn’t affect our stance on the matter.”<\/p>\n
