Rangnick on Keita

Leipzig are pygmy club with a huge bank roll. Seen far too many of them over the years to be good for football.

The owner doesn't give a fack. No amount of money will make them sell the player. The difference between a 40 million bid and 100 is inconsequential.

Best to back off now and let the matter settle down. We have spent too much time chasing transfers that are a waste of time.

I suspect we've already moved on, the comments are very odd though, if keita does take it as racism he might not be director for long

Ah yes the small village of Conakry, Guinea with its population of 1.6 million

Keita will stay but it's pretty obvious he's very unhappy about it, difficult situation for the club but can't fault their refusal to sell. Interesting to see if he can settle down now and have another good season.

Never seen the guy play but if he's really that good one of the big boys will snap him for 48 million next summer.

I think Keita will stay at Leipzig simply because their position is entrenched.

However, calling his friends and family a village in Guinea who don't know what's good for him is straight out of the Donald Trump diplomacy playbook. It's incredibly crass.
