***** NOT A JOKE! *******
Looks like we will have to wait for this deal until 2018
"Liverpool have agreed a club-record deal to sign Naby Keita from RB Leipzig on July 1, 2018, sources have confirmed to ESPN FC.
Liverpool had been tracking the Guinea midfielder all summer and had two bids rejected by the Bundesliga runners-up -- the second of which was worth €75 million, according to owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
Leipzig's stance -- both publicly and privately -- has been that Keita is not for sale at any price this summer as the club embark on the Champions League for the first time in their history.
However with Keita's contract including an exit clause of £48m, which comes into activation at the end of the season, the club have sanctioned the move and he will undergo a medical in England on Monday before joining next summer."
