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.

Ralf Rangnick, their DoF, has denied the existence of a release clause altogether. A lot of people in Germany flat out hate Rangnick.
Interesting side note. Rangnick and Klopp have been said to have a love-hate sorta relationship. They competed against each other in 2.Bundesliga and have respect for each other. On the other hand the german media sees them as opposites because Klopp is very articulate and Rangnick has the swagger of a wet towel. To make things even more interesting Klopp was "considered" for the Leipzig manager position when he left BvB. But he turned them down and joined Liverpool. So I dunno if there is any repercussions of that.
