With the Dahoud fiasco I ain't surprised.
Watch Naby Keita follow him at Bayern.
It's only a fiasco if you deluded yourself into thinking LFC had a better chance of signing Mo than BVB did. Which you were warned about repeatedly.
"fiasco"
I'd be surprised if Keita goes to Bayern this summer. Thiago is having himself quite a year, and their central midfield is pretty stacked otherwise too. Maybe once he has knocked another year or two off his contract and they wouldn't need to pay as much. As it stands, they don't need to and therefore probably won't pay the huge fee that Leipzig would surely ask for this summer.
With Thiago, Sanches & Kimmich as well as old man Vidal and utility man Rudy; Bayern are unlikely to have a clear need for Keita in the near future. So it's tough seeing them paying what RB should demand any time soon. A Lahm replacement I can see them splurge for, Brandt at that price makes perfect sense, some super talented midfield prospects would be smart; but I just don't see too great a fit with Keita.
Him I can actually see going to Liverpool; though maybe that's just because it's hard not to ascribe a mercenery mindset to all players that come up through the Red Bull system, and it isn't too hard to see LFC get desperate enough to make the kind of bid Leipzig would have to consider.
