Jurgen Klopp laughs off speculation linking Liverpool to a £66m bid for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, saying 'we are not in Vegas or Macau'.

Jurgen Klopp has laughed off speculation linking Liverpool to RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

Dietrich Mateschitz, the Red Bulls' owner, revealed this week that he had rejected a bid for the Guinean, and has reiterated that the club will not sell the 21-year-old.

Klopp was asked by Sky Sports News about Liverpool's reported £66m bid for Keita after their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League Asia Trophy.

"What do you know? £66m turned down today?" the German retorted. "Are we in Vegas? I told you I don't speak about this.

"Not Vegas, what is it on the other side of the island in Asia? Yes, Macau. Are we in Macau? No.

"I never say anything about anybody until they have actually signed or left. When that's happened I'll tell you immediately."

Keita reportedly has a £55m release clause in his contract which comes into effect in 12 months' time.
