The dynamic box-to-box midfielder is destined for Anfield at the season's end, with Liverpool agreeing a £48m plus deal in August. But Coutinho's departure means that Klopp and his board have consequently explored the possibility of getting him to the club earlier than planned. That would obviously require RB Leipzig's blessing and a further financial sweetener. But Leipzig's straight response has the Anfield faithful beside themselves and understandably annoyed.
Keita's current club have reportedly said no deal, with empathic clarity. They don't want the early transfer to disrupt their season.
If only Liverpool had thought that way.
It's not that the Anfield support blame the Bundesliga outfit for their stance - quite the opposite in fact. They totally understand and appreciate it. What annoys them is that they wish their own club had had the same resolve in keeping Coutinho until the end of the season too.
So galling is the comparison that a few changes to the Leipzig's stand makes the difference in attitude jarringly clear. Time will tell if the club will end up regretting their decision.
