They're going to sell him. They already signed his replacement and they omitted him, their star player, from all of their summer marketing campaigns. He's a President, he has to say those things.

I believe both Keita and VVD will be Liverpool players this summer.

The window is open.. Players have reported for pre-season... Who is creating the 17/18 season thread?

It's been reported out of guneia that the president is actually open to selling, its the sporting director that is playing hardball.

In the end I think we get the deal done. Several things working in our favor despite their stubnornness.

First and foremost, Keita wants to leave and the president has reportedly said that the club won't stand in his way despite the sporting director saying otherwise.

Secondly, we play in England. With the understanding that he wants to leave anyway, its better for RBL that he ends up anywhere but Bayern or BvB

Third, and this sort of ties into the second point...he has a ~55M release clause that kicks in next summer. So RBL have to ask themselves if they think 12 months of football from him is worth 15-20M while also taking on the risk that Bayern meets that clause next year. They're loading a gun and pointing it at their dick if they don't sell to us this summer.
