Keita has a 48m release clause which kicks in in June 2018. Liverpool pays a higher fee to sign him for sure next season. Leipzig gets to keep him for another year.
Worth reminding that Mike Ashley did that interview just before our first game, and did some more after that.
All Rafa's fault for riling up that fat mess.
3m vs strengthening the team, increasing the chance of survival and going for a higher league finish and prize money which would cover the interest.
Let's save the 3m instead.
Considering the interest involved, you are being way too unrealistic. Everything in the last decade tells you Ashley has never lied to us before and deserves our defending.
