So if the reports are true and we have walked away from Keita, and as has been suggested there is something in his contract that would allow another German side or who ever the clause is relevant to ( I know its not Liverpool because Eds002 has said) but let's say for arguments sake Dortmund come in next season with a 48 million bid as reported the clause is, what is then stopping us coming in with a bid of say 55 million? Surely it would have been better to accept Liverpool's much higher bid this season to maximize what they received for the player. Surely this clause is BS?

I'd imagine Bayern will try and broker a deal for him in January for him to join in the summer, a la other targets. A move to Munich guarantees trophies, something a move nowhere else does.

CFC I understand that mate but why would Keita himself be pushing for a move to LFC this season if he knows a team like you suggest will come calling in January or next season why wouldn't he just wait? It makes Zero sense to me 😩.

They did not accept a higher bid from Liverpool because they don't care about the money, they are owned by Red Bull and they put everything into pushing there brand. That means keeping Keita at any cost and staying the force they have become in Germany. If they loose out on the extra 20m but beat Bayern to the title this season i doubt they will care.

It isn't difficult to grasp.

RBL don't need the money because they are crazy rich. They see having a quality squad with keita in it as more important than 20 mil extra this year

Money is pretty much of no object to RBL.

Why sell to one of your biggest rivals for a fraction of the fee you could get for him? Don't see the positive in weakening your own team whilst strengthening your rivals! Why not sell to Liverpool for more money and not giving a rival team the edge over you! It baffles me 😡.

just a quick question for Hendos Heel please explain when Keita pushed for a move because as far as I'm aware he didn't once try to push a move through.

With his representative talking with Liverpool and trying to broker a deal for him during this window surely you can see that he was open to going to Liverpool and with RB bosses saying he had had his head turned!

Germans seem to do things differently. And Tbh I wouldn't fault them too much.
