Tuesday 4 July 2017 07:52, UK
All the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Tuesday, July 4.
Didi Hamann thinks £70m on Naby Keita would be money well spent by Liverpool.
Keita is reportedly holding talks with RB Leipzig about his future this week, and would become Liverpool's most expensive signing if he joined for the fee that has been reported.
"Would £70m put me off buying Keita? No," former Reds midfielder Hamann told the Liverpool Echo.
"Just getting through the play-off round and into the group stage of the Champions League would pay off a big chunk of that fee. With Keita on board, Liverpool would have an even better chance of getting through.
