Liverpool's chances of bringing Naby Keita to the club from RB Leipzig in January are reportedly "slim" even if the German side are eliminated from the UEFA Champions League.
According to Andy Kelly of the Liverpool Echo, while the Reds are keen to move the midfielder's planned summer switch to the midseason window, their requests to do so are likely to fall on deaf ears.
"There is nothing to stop the Reds attempting to negotiate a fresh deal with Leipzig in January—just as they could for any other player—but the chances of success are considered somewhat remote," it's suggested.
